Palm trees and a desert oasis: it is like they were made for each other. So every time we visit Palm Springs we make sure to visit the Indian Canyons. No matter how many times we have been there, we are always humbled again by the natural beauty of this Palm Canyon with its silver lined stream that loops through a an almost extra terrestrial landscape. This is truly a magnificent oasis in the middle of the desert. The Palm Canyons belong to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians but can be visited year round. Fifteen miles long, Palm Canyon is one of the great beauty spots in Western North America. Its indigenous flora and fauna, which the Cahuilla peoples so expertly used, and its abundant Washingtonia filifera (California Fan palm trees), are breathtaking contrasts to the stark, rocky gorges and barren desert lands beyond. A moderately graded, paved foot path winds down into the canyon for picnicking near the stream, meditating, exploring, hiking or horseback riding.
