Majestic beauty of huge palms, a river/creek bed with cool water, and absolutely stunning wild flowers abound at the right time of year. The tribe charges for admission so it isn't a cheap event.

Fascinating landscape for flatlanders. Nature provides the most beautiful of all art and natural wonder.

Kind of steep entry fee, allow equestriennes for $11 per person. Student and senior rates available. There are picnic areas. Bring water and sunscreen. Limited amenities. Hike is a rocky path, not suitable for strollers. One mile hike worth the exertion, vistas spectacular! Gift area worth drive, native jewelry and hummingbirds galore. Porta johns. Will take a couple of hours.

Indian Canyons is a must-do if you like to hike (not in the summer!) Hiking along a palm lined stream, beautiful vistas, at the end a pool with a waterfall. Just gorgeous. Worth the entrance fee. Lots of hikes of varying intensities. Something for everyone.

Love heading out for some fresh air and hiking in the beautiful canyons. Every visit to Palm Springs should include a visit to the Agua Caliente Indian Canyons.

They no longer do the interpretive hikes down thru the valley like they used to (disappointing). Overall the area is nice. Great place for a hike. The fee's for entry are pretty steep. It was $23 for 2 adults and 1 child. We were there for less than an hour. Go early in the morning before it gets too hot.

This is a great place to hike. I am not use to paying to hike so that was strange and expensive but I did enjoy the hike. There is a great place at the bottom, just a little walk from the parking lot where the kids can play in the water. So fun for them on a hot day. YOu... More

During our recent visit to Palm Springs we took multiple day hikes in the Indian Canyons...so much to love about these canyons...we saw beautiful desert and great wildlife...so worth the cost of the entrance fee...we all felt it was the highlight of our trip to Palm Springs...we look forward to a return trip to explore the beauty of the canyons...
