Hiking

Indian Canyons is a canyon just outside of Palm Springs, CA.  Indian Canyons is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the world’s largest California Fan Palm Oasis!  Indian Canyons is home to the Agua Caliente Indians, specifically the Band of Cahuilla. The drive to the parking lot from the entrance is about 5 miles and there you will find a small trading post.  The trail starts just below the trading post.  One of the welcome signs alerts the hikers of the “rattlesnake habitat”!  We did not see any rattlesnakes….The hike is about 3 miles with the 1st…

We spent yesterday in and around Sedona, AZ.  Our first stop was the Little Horse Trail off Route 179 in Red Rock Canyon.  This trail is part of Red Rock State Park just 5 minutes from the town area of Sedona.   The Little Horse trail is a 4.3 mile out and back trail.  The trail has a 564' elevation gain and is open to hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders.  We loved the hike and highly recommend the trail.   Once we completed our hike we drove into town and shopped at Tlaquepaque a very quaint area of Sedona…
