November 20, 2012 - Today we drove to Palm Springs to check out the Indian Canyons. Centuries ago, ancestors of the Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians settled in this area and developed complex communities in the Palm, Murray, Andreas, Tahquitz and Chino Canyons. We visited just the Andreas Canyon today, which has a magnificent grove of fan palms. We met no one else on our trail, so all we could hear were the birds and the constant bubbling of the Andreas Creek.
After our hike, we had lunch at the Agua Caliente Casino, followed by a little gambling. Once again, I was a loser but lucky Judy was a winner. The canyons here are beautiful and we'll be back.
