Palm Canyon

 
Palm Canyon, about 6mi/10km south of the center of Palm Springs at the end of South Palm Canyon Drive, is a 15mi/25km long canyon wilderness belonging to the Agua Caliente Indians.

Palm Canyon is a beautiful natural area with some wonderful hiking. The canyon is a bit of an oasis in the desert with a creek and waterfalls. Fan palm trees grow abundantly here at the base of the canyon, giving color and life to the otherwise barren surroundings.

Must-see attractions nearby:
Perhaps the best way to see the canyon is on one of the many hikes. There is a Trading Post selling souvenirs, Indian art, and various other things. From the parking lot are hiking trails of various lengths. An easy trail leads through the palms and will give you an up close look at the canyon without taking up a huge amount of time or energy. Or, for the more adventurous, you can also try tackling a longer trail for views over the canyon and surrounding area. You can also see the neighboring Andreas and Murray Canyons.
