Andreas Canyon Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 An amazing place with a short 1 mile loop... half of the hike is in the sun (bring plenty of cold water to drink) and the other is down in the shade of the oasis; if you start the hike on the trail to the right of the parking, you will go through the oasis first, but if you go to the left of the par...

BIKE Palm Springs Rentals & Tours | Bike Rentals

Bicycle rental service

👍👍 Wow, I’ve never felt so inclined to review a bike rental company, but my experience was so good I had to share! I came in with a group of 7 for a bachelorette party and we were greeted with such warmth and professionalism. We all had a different fun colored bike in no time, and were given a clear ma...

Randall Henderson Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 This is a nice short walk along an easy loop trail. You can get a paper guide to follow along with the numbered stops along the way. The trail begins in the parking lot at the visitor center. It's marked with a large slab of sandstone (see photo), you can't miss it. I recommend taking the stairs...

Garstin Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 You can park near 3138 Barona Road. A nice loop that took us two hours was to start up the Garstin Trail, once you get near the top take the left trail down, which connects to the Earl Henderson Trail. Henderson Trail then follows the wash back to the Garstin Trailhead where you started.

👍👍 This place is great for all ages. First, its easy to find as the only road there ends at the preserve. Be aware that there is very limited parking so get there early. There are a few manmade ponds that are very clean and next to them are many picnic benches to enjoy a meal at. There is zero food to...

Mountain cable car

👍👍 The aerial tram is an experience in itself which has amazing views and great feel covering thousands of feet within ten minutes.
