As we all know, it is always hot in Palm Springs. 365, 24/7. This review is a bit overdue. A friend…read moreof mine wanted to go to Palm Springs and suggested for us to go on this tour. Instead of driving, we decided to get a tour and let them guide us and drive us around. Well, it was a 2 hour tour and Tony, our guide, kind of spent a little extra time with us, after other people got off the tram. Weather was just perfect. We loved everything about this tour. It is breathtaking, beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. The tour included hiking, taking couple of photos, and other things..We took the Palm Canyon trail which is relatively an easy hike for the 1st mile. Gorgeous views to stop by and take photos. Beautiful waterfalls and can also be fun for children. We were there earlier this year and that's all I can say and remember about this tour. I highly recommend to all. Prices are $12.00 for adults, $10.00 for seniors and kids. They have a gift shop, restroom at the front of the entrance, plenty of parking spaces and it was a memorable experience. We are both glad that we took this tour. :-) Make sure you are out by 5pm, they will nicely escort you to your vehicles. Take extra clothes to change, pretty humid; and a gallon/bottles of water. Wear comfortable tennis shoes. Thank you Tony & Indian Canyons tour..

What a spectacular experience. So much to learn about the Indians that lived here and why. From a…read morenice cool walk under the trees next to the natural water flowing up through the ground then to some fabulous hiking with glorious views of the mountains to all the creatures that live all around it. Keep your eyes open for all of them and especially for the dangerous ones hiding around rocks. Stay away from the selfies with them. Shouldn't have to say it but.... Well worth the $12.00 entry fee per car. Come here when it's hot for a cooler experience under the trees or winter for some good hiking. This is Palm Springs after all.

Ruth Hardy Park is very pretty. Lots of open green space. Recently, a temporary dog park has been…read moreinstalled. This is because a couple of other dog parks are being seeded.

Our goal was to walk the labyrinth (we seek them out wherever we go) and it took a bit of effort to find it. It is located in the Wellness section of the park that has fitness stations and this labyrinth was paved and a bit small. Still a nice area to take a break if you are in town, especially with young children or pets who need to stretch their legs.

All I saw was beautiful green and lush grass for the playing fields and a fenced in, dirt only section for dogs. Dog Parks seem to be on the very bottom of the City's "to do list". Another Dog Park being seeded now is the one off Tahquitz by City Hall. Looks pretty before that small area becomes trampled on. Presently there is a temporary dog area set up (while other dog parks get some maintenance/seeding) at Ruth Hardy Park. It is really nice. It fits in aesthetically with the children's' area and the green open space. One can only hope that somebody from City Hall sees this post. Rumor has it that the fencing is coming down on 5-15th.

Privately owned and what appears to still have a home property onsite, Moorten Botanical features over 3,000 species of cacti. Another unique component is the rare Cactarium which is a greenhouse featuring cactus and succulents. Admission is $7 cash or card and there is always staff available to greet guests. A paper map is provided post payment to help navigate the grounds. I recommend sunscreen as a majority of the viewing takes place outside and the sun tends to beat down. Onsite there are a variety of large tortoises in specialty spots enjoying their environment. At the end of the garden, there is a nursery where plants can be purchased along with gardening trinkets. For the value, this is one to not miss! I've been coming here for years since I was a little girl and I enjoy the fact that Moorten sticks to their roots and have kept the layout the same allowing me to feel nostalgia each time I visit. Thank you!!!

I noticed a few birds singing happily in their enclosure. Benches are available when a break from the afternoon heat becomes necessary. A slow & serene stop in Palm Springs.

I attended Palm Spring's 85th birthday and when I read it was at this park I envisioned grass, a play ground, plenty of parking and lots of booths, accessible restrooms, but when I arrived it was a confined little street/square and you had to find a restroom inside of one of the restaurants. Think of this as the downtown PARK(ing), as in the place you would park if you wanted to walk around downtown or go to the museum.
