Video: Whitewater River Camp & Spa

c) Andrew Carter, 2021

Yesterday, I camped beside the Whitewater River, which disappears into the sand and empties into the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs. Here’s a video tour of my campsite. This is by far the nicest campsite I’ve had so far (in 400+ miles).

And here’s me enjoying the Whitewater River Spa.

I just completed a multi-year thru hike (MYTH) of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It took three years. I hiked 1840 miles in 2021, 733 miles in 2022, and 122 miles in 2023. The only reason I had to hike in 2023 was a wildfire closure at the north end of the PCT in 2022. During the past two years, I've also thru hiked other, shorter US trails. I hiked the Benton MacKaye Trail (GA, NC, TN) and the Tuscarora Trail (VA, WV, MD, PA) in 2022 plus the Ozark Highlands Trail (AR) in 2023. I hope to hike the Long Trail (VT) next year and the Colorado Trail at some point in the future. Please note, all content on this site is copyright.

  1. Ok, best post to date. This post, due to the “man on the scene footage” make the experience “reel”. Roll that tape again and enjoy the mountain views and cool water!

    We are all having a blast living vicariously through your experiences. Thanks!

    1. Thanks, I definitely enjoyed the cold stream. The next two days were rough given the intense heat and lack of shade plus the need to ration drinking water. After I got to the snow, I drank 2 or 3 liters of snow melt over the next hour.
