In March or April we often travel to Palm Desert to escape the winter chill in Ashland. There are a number of hikes we love. The photo above is in Palm Canyon, on the Agua Caliente tribal land. The water was flowing due to the many springs that dot this dry landscape.
The entrace to the hiking trails.
This palm arch was amazing.
The Randall Henderson trail was a much dryer, hotter hike. Lots of flowering cacti blooming and others looking scary. You wouldn't want to fall into this one.
It can get pretty slippery on these trails. My poles were a "must."
The water was flowing in many parts of this beautiful oasis.
