We loved the hike at the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve. It was for free. We saw bushes, palm trees, mpitains and lots of hiking. I like that. We even saw runroaders. It was worthwhile for the hike to enjoy the desert. A must see!

Located in the Indian Canyons, this trail passes some uniquely amazing desert vegetation, such as the yellow creosote flowers.

We hiked. It was fun. There were also people coming with horses as well. We preferred hiking. Every time we passed an oasis, we had to cross the water. Sometimes it was quite funny. We cross at least several oasis. Later we had to climb a mountain and we didn't see the seven sisters. They were there. We had to go at the left side and we could see the waterfalls. P.S. We had to come back through the oasis. We had fun!

We hiked the Victor Loop, which consists of the Palm Canyon Trail in one direction and the Vector Trail back to the trailhead (or vice versa) - 4.5 km total. Of all the hiking we did over 2 days in Joshua Tree National Park and 2 days Palm Springs, this trail was one of our favourites. You pay to get in to the Indian Canyons, but it's well worth it. We arrived in the early afternoon and had time to do both this trail and the Andreas Canyon, a short 1.6 km loop which is also beautiful. Both trails are easy and also easily accessible from Palm Springs. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for more of a challenging hike - at the entrance to the trail, take it to the left and it will loop you around. Pretty hard to get lost... If you happen to be sipping on a Starbucks while wearing lulu lemon, starting the trail to the right is likely the best fit for you. ???? Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, Dec-March you are likely to see some big horn sheep - while March-May you may see Chuckwallas (Big scary looking lizards).

Went to Indian Canyons for a day hike with friends while visiting Palm Springs ~3 hour hike via Palm Canyon trail, cut off at the Victor Beautiful scenery - palm trees, mountains, creek. Well worth the $9 adult admission fee! Highly recommend!

Good hike up the mountain. At sunset, you can see the cross light up. Great for photos. Dogs are welcome on the trail and people of all ages make the hike.

This is a fairly rigorous trail which rewards with great views of the house that once belonged to Bob Hope. Very convenient location of trailhead

This is really a great hike, you need to have a camera and good hiking boots, it can be slippery with smoother shoes
