Apache Peak is a 2,600-foot climb on the Spitler Peak Trail that connects to a short PCT section before summiting. You get views stretching from Palm Desert to Saddleback Mountain, San Jacinto Peak, and Rabbit Peak. The trail sees light traffic and sits on the Sierra Club's 100-Peak list. It's a solid choice if you want elevation gain without crowds and a payoff view from the desert divide.
