Tahquitz Canyon - Palm Springs, CA

January 6, 2008

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.

  • From Washington, take Hwy 111 West
  • Hwy 111 will turn into East Palm Canyon Drive - continue on East Palm Canyon Drive
  • Mesquite is the second stop light from the South Palm Canyon turnoff - turn left
  • The road will lead to the Visitor Center
