Indian Canyons – Explore the beauty of one of the region’s most unusual ecosystems this morning during a hike in Indian Canyons. Following an introduction and discussion with a native Cahuilla Indian Park Ranger, you will hike through a portion of Palm Canyon’s native fan palm tree oasis. This unusual oasis in the desert features a forest of native palm trees clustered around a stream which flows year-round. The hike climbs out of the palms along a ridge that offers sweeping views of the San Jacinto Mountains and the valley floor. You will also enjoy a hike in Andreas Canyon where you can observe ancient mortars and metates in the huge rock formations where the Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians prepared their food centuries ago. Today is planned as a hiking day however you may choose to ride to, or to and from, the start and end point of the planned hike/s. Your leaders will serve a picnic lunch in the shade of huge palm trees at Andreas Canyon before returning to Palm Springs in the early afternoon. The rest of the day is yours to relax and enjoy the pool at the Hyatt or explore downtown Palm Springs and its numerous shops – all within a short walk of the hotel. This evening, join your tour companions for dining at a Palm Springs landmark, Spencer’s Restaurant, just a short walk from the hotel.
