We walked a circuit from the visitors center through the impressive Palm grove and then returned via the high route. It was a fairly easy route and not too hot (Nov.) but one still needs to be prepared with water and good sun protection.

If Golf is what you love this is your place, never have I seen so many courses. Sunny and warm most of the time, low winds perfect for winter get away. Not exactly what I expected, old part of the city was just that old.a lot under construction the nicer area's were South 50 miles or so. If you want to visit the beach, its 2 hours plus to the coast... hard to park and access, but scenic.

The Joshua Tree Adventure Tour by Adventure Hummer Tours was terrific. The open air Hummer was well equipped for the exciting non-paved trails up into Joshua Tree National Park. Our guide, Don Scrivens, was excellent and is a well-informed naturalist of the desert and a historian of the area. We also visited Thousand Palms Oasis which was also interesting. The four hour trip was well worth the $135/person tab.

We thought that it couldn't get any better than the Andreas Canyon part of the Indian Canyon Reservation, but Palm Canyon proved us wrong. What a magnificent multi-varied, huddled collage of palms, desert plants, hills, gestural rock faces, "creeky" rivulets, croaking frogs, and even some rather hidden small hot water springs and waterfalls (ask a ranger). The whole walk/hike was close and personal. Don't stop walking along the Palm Canyon Trail; it just gets better and better. At the end, it branches into two more challenging hillside trails for those who like the "upswing". Ending too soon would be a wasted opportunity, so give yourself at least a good three hours, especially if you like taking photos. There are many different levels of hikes. Although I wouldn't recommend it for those with some mobility problems. . . .We met Gabriel, a new ranger, who was both friendly and informative. Obviously, formerly working as an naval engineer in sometimes 130 degrees weather, he felt right at home in the desert. His warmhearted conversation made us also feel right at home. For him, it was rather on the cold side; for us, the 75 degrees weather was very pleasant. The Palm Canyon has a nice choice of open and shaded areas. The bottom of the palm trees were tainted by a fire, set by two careless youths. (The winds carried the flames down the canyons.) It made one realize even more the importance of being responsible in nature. For us the visit was: "where seldom is heard a discouraging word" (part of "Home on the Range" lyrics) Well worth the admittance fee.

I wanted to visit this place for a long time, but it never worked out when we came to Palms Springs. Finally made it, payed the 9 dollars to get in and did a couple of miles. Nice place to plan a pic nick. There are also ranger lead walks at 10 AM, but unfortunately we missed it

This Canyon, part of Indian Canyons if I am not mistaken, was very close to our hotel and the center of Palm Springs. Amazingly close actually. It was a nice surprise to us. We never expected to hike along these spectacular trails with views on the snowed mountains, the warm desert, and the palm oasis at the same time. Well organized, warm welcome by the ranger(s), ample parking. Our advice: come early, avoid the heat, and bring enough water. You do not need special equipment, nor exceptional physical condition, to do the following spectacular walk (take 2 hours): go and see the West Fork Falls first, the go to the Tradepost, go down to the oasis and follow the path to the first junction Palm Canyon Trail, Victor Trail and Vandeventer Trail. Come back to the parking following the Victor Trail. See http://www.indian-canyons.com/Images/IndianCanyonsTrailElevationGuide.pdf

Well worth it. We hiked around for about 4 hours and could have hiked for longer. There are various trails with gorgeous views of the mountains and the palm trees. Such a cool experience seeing all the palm trees right there in the middle of the desert!

Very pretty hike. The palm trees were very tall and beautiful...felt like we were in a cathedral. We did not do the entire hike, but even the first portion was absolutely stunning! The reflection of the palm trees in the water was beautiful. I had never seen an oasis before. What a treat! There is a food stand and visitor center at the beginning of the trail. They sold water, burritos, hot dogs, pop, etc.

There's a steep descent into the canyon from the parking lot, but after that, it's pretty easy walking through a lush oasis. It's cool to imagine the Indians living there. From the cool green canyon bottom, you look up to see the golden/orange rocky mountain slopes. It was a nice morning walk- we didn't go farther than about a mile in, but really enjoyed it. Too bad about the burned trunks on the trees, but it was still enjoyable.

Entry fee is per person, not per carload, making this an expensive hiking location. There is a giftshop at the end of the parking lot. The trail from the parking lot to the Palm Canyon Trail trailhead is steep. There is no water available at the trailhead, and only portapotty restrooms. The Palm Canyon hike is short, along a stream, with majestic Palm trees that provide a nice, cool shaded hike. Trails are not well marked. Beyond the Palm canyon trail, all trails are exposed with significant elevation gains before you have views of the Coachella Valley.
