Review:
Located in Coachella Valley in the San Jacinto Mountains near Palm Springs, Tahquitz Canyon has been continuously inhabited by the Agua Caliente Cahuilla Native American tribe for more than 2,000 years. The canyon plays a particularly important role in the creation myth of the tribe, a story that never fails to fascinate visitors.
The Tahquitz Canyon Trail begins at the Visitor Center and climbs 350 feet to the beautiful Tahquitz Falls. The two-mile loop trail is rocky and steep; there are no restroom facilities and little shade, so hikers should dress appropriately, carry water, and protect themselves from the sun. The canyon is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from July to September, and daily from October to June.
