Hello, Welcome to "Travel with Suri". Part of the indian canyons,
Tahquitz canyon is a beautiful desert canyon that offers an oasis and large waterfall.
The trail loops around the canyon and showcases several native american landmarks and artifacts.
You will see many beautiful cascades of the stream,
stunning rock formations as well as the highlight of the journey - A 60-foot waterfall. Welcome to
Tahquitz waterfall hiking, palm springs, California.
The hiking trail is located on the west side of palm springs. The parking lot is small, so if you
go early, then you will find the parking lot. If the parking lot is full they will send you back.
The entrance fee is 12.5$ per person and you have to pay it here in the visitor center.
The panoramic view of the canyon opened up in the first mile itself.
This ancient landmark called sacred rock marks one of the oldest native dwelling
sites as evidenced by found artifacts dating back more than 1500 years.
After the sacred rock, I saw my first glimpse of Tahquitz creek paralleling the trail.
You can see the entire palm springs from here, it's amazing. Can you spot two big horn sheeps
there? You can see lot of wildlife here including rattlesnakes so be careful.
The canyon gorge began to narrow providing a stellar view of the brittle bush and
desert grasses growing from the precarious nooks and crannies in the mountain walls.
A water gauging station built by the united states
geological survey in 1947 is situated along the creek above the small waterfall.
A curve in the trail and the sound of falling water signaled the end
of the canyon and my arrival a Tahquitz canyon falls, I have seen many waterfalls
over the years but there is something singular about waterfalls in the desert.
Beautiful waterfall.
The oasis surrounding Tahquitz falls is a perfect mid-high escape from the sun
and a great place to cool your heels in the water and enjoy a picnic lunch or snacks.
The round trip of this hike is only about 2 miles and takes about 2 hours.
