Indian Canyons

Palm trees and wildflowers line a sandy trail through a rocky canyon under a blue sky with wispy clouds.

Indian Canyons is one of the most culturally significant and visually stunning areas in Palm Springs, located just over 15 miles from Emerald Desert RV Resort. This sacred land is home to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and features a network of hiking trails that wind through lush oases lined with towering palms, rock formations, and seasonal creeks. Among the most popular trails are Andreas Canyon, Palm Canyon, and Murray Canyon, each offering different levels of difficulty and scenery. Along the way, you can see ancient rock art, historical sites, and native wildlife. Guided tours are available for those who want to deepen their understanding of the area’s cultural heritage. The canyons provide shade and cooler temps, making them ideal for day hikes even in warmer months. Whether you’re interested in history, nature, or photography, Indian Canyons is a must-visit destination.
