Indian Canyons

The Indian Canyons, located in the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Reservation near Palm Springs, California, offer visitors a glimpse into the rich cultural and natural history of the region. Comprised of three distinct canyons (Palm Canyon, Andreas Canyon, and Murray Canyon), the Indian Canyons are home to over 150 species of plants and animals, including rare and endangered species such as the Peninsular bighorn sheep and the California fan palm. Visitors to the canyons can hike on miles of trails, explore ancient Cahuilla Indian settlements and artifacts, and take guided tours with knowledgeable tribal guides. In addition, the canyons offer visitors the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the desert, with stunning rock formations, waterfalls, and perennial streams.

There are numerous reasons to visit the Indian Canyons, including the chance to learn about the unique cultural and historical significance of the region, to hike and explore the natural beauty of the desert, and to see rare and endangered species of plants and animals. Visitors to the canyons can also participate in special events and activities, such as birdwatching tours, night hikes, and cultural festivals. Additionally, the canyons offer a great opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse oneself in the tranquility and beauty of the desert. Overall, the Indian Canyons are a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the natural history and culture of California's desert region.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
