coachella valley preserve印象

Lived up to expectations. Flat hike to a very nice oasis and easy reach from the desert cities. The visitor center is an historic log home with interesting artifacts. No fees but a donation is worthy for the info and trek. McCallum Trail seems most popular.

Didn't see anything worth stopping for. Saw lots of people walking around in the desert with a ranger seeing what - I don't know!

We loved this place. It is such a unique place - a true oasis in the middle of the desert surrounded by dense palm trees. You can just imagine what it would have been like traveling across this barren desert and coming upon this pool of water - truly a life saver. Be sure to hike to the larger pool and not just stay hang out at the visitors center.

I suppose this place has some ecological value, but it is nothing compared to Palm and other canyons. If you want a decent hike.

I did not realize that 95% of all dates came from this area, I loved to see the palms. I thought it was wonderful.....and who might know that there are numerous varieties of dates to sample....and they all taste different...just like varieties of apples...certainly worth a stop on the way to or from Joshua Tree National Park..

Love the different trails, but particularly the hike to McCallum Pond. Be sure to take plenty of water but if you forget, the visitor's center has water available for sale.

Maybe it's not spectacular, but this is a unique place in the desert. The type of palms at Thousand Palms oasis is very old and only survived because of the availability of water. The source of this water is also interesting - it's there because the Andreas Fault is just below! There are some easy hiking trails so this is a place where everybody can do some hiking, except for people in wheelchairs.There are free guided tours and if you're in luck, you might see a fringe-toed lizard.We enjoyed our easy hike to McCallum Pond.

Remarkable! Buried in the middle of the California desert, fed by waters migrating upward courtesy of the San Andreas fault, are honest to goodness Oases…..Not huge, no camels, but pools that permit extraordinary palms to burst from an otherwise arid and inhospitable environment. Worth the drive out from Palm Desert.TIPS! Bring water-- it is the desert--sunscreen, and decent walking shoes.

I have been thinking about visiting the preserve for quiet some time and finally got around to do so. From the visitor center we took the Mc Callum trail for an easy two mile roundtrip hike which takes you two an oasis with a little pond in the middle of the dessert. There are picnic tables at the oasis as well as lots of shade to rest and enjoy the scenery before heading back. Nice easy hike which is also good for children but not recommended for strollers as the trail involves some steps and loose gravel. The staff at the visitor center is very helpful and best of all this is a free attraction but donations are welcome.

the little cabin was interesting due to its construction and age. The easiest hikes are just walks through the flat desert out to a small oasis. In my opinion, nothing special.
