Tahquitz Canyon Visitor Center

Details:

• 2-mile round trip hike
• 350 ft. elevation gain
  
• $12.50 adult, $6.00 child entrance fee (includes guided tour)
  

This moderate hike follows Tahquitz Creek into Tahquitz Canyon. The hike culminates at Tahquitz Falls - a powerful, 60 foot waterfall. Schedule 1 hour for a self-guided tour or 2.5 hours for the ranger-led interpretive hike. Tahquitz is just a few minutes away from Indian Canyons, but here you'll find more rocks, a waterfall and NO palms. Tahquitz is more of a spiritual and cultural walk in the park. Opt for the guided tour for a total brain/body workout.
