    It's joke. Dry and very tiny grass patch. Parking is rocky…read more Only one Kids play ground and few roofed shade place with tables. Very dirty and lots of trash there. I don't know why the city keeps this ugly park. No thank you.

    This is a description, not a criticism, of the Cathedral City Dog Park. My wife and I came to Palm…read moreSprings for a long weekend following a work appointment. We brought our little dog. She loves traveling with us. We stayed at an AirBnB less than a five minute drive from this facility. Before we went to dinner with an old friend from work, we wanted to give the pup a walk to tire her out. I saw from the internet that this spot was very nearby. The other reviews here are not charitable. Suffice it to say my wife said when we arrived, what a joke, and she wanted us to look for someplace else. I insisted we go in. We had the whole area to ourselves. She agreed we could walk around the perimeter a few times for exercise and perhaps the dog would do her business. The dog also was able to be off leash. Although she isn't the most sociable. we could easily see anybody coming well before they showed up. The reason people are unkind is this is a tiny square that is fenced in, filled with wood chips, with an adjacent smaller square designated for the animals under 25 pounds. So it is not sizable. It also has no green and no shade. We were there in the early spring. Yet this being the desert climate it is, the sun was beating down on us as in an old time pulp novel where the detective is hung over after a hard night on the town. At least they have a double door system as a proper dog park should. That reduces the risk of a dog bolting into traffic (the inner door does not shut properly though). I infer the premises are used from the amount of poop that was out there, creating a minefield. People need to pick up, and you would think the social contract would enforce itself, but, no, there was evidence that dogs had visited, all over, thoroughly dried out but difficult to detect since more or less the same color as the ground cover. Despite having been baked, the waste is still capable of sticking to your shoes. My wife scolded me when we inspected our shoes. I had made a misstep. This desolate installation is next to the local fire station. The only person we saw was a guy on his way to work, carrying heavy boots. I close with a sad story. Ernest Hemingway reputedly wrote the world's saddest story in only six words. That is an apocryphal meta-story, which is to say it is not true that he penned the words: For sale, baby shoes, never worn. My wife did better. We left out cans in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco with her handwritten sign: Free dog food. Ours died. That is what came to mind looking out at this forlorn location.

    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.

    Nov, 2025. Palm Springs, CA. "The Indian Canyons are the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band…read moreof Cahuilla Indians. These canyons are especially sacred to the Cahuilla people today and are historically important to scientists and nature lovers. The Cahuilla people have thrived here for thousands of years. Ancient trails, rock art, house pits, foundations, irrigation ditches, dams, reservoirs, and food preparation areas still exist in the canyons." While there are many hiking trails in the Indian Canyons, our preference was to hike one of them that offered some shade. (While Palm Springs was only expected to reach 81 degrees today, it feels hotter when you're hiking in direct sun!) We spoke to a friendly ranger near the Trading Post, and he suggested that the two trails with shade are: (1) Palm Canyon, which is described as a moderated-graded footpath that winds down into the canyon for picnicking near the stream, meditating, exploring, hiking and equestrian trails. (2) Andreas Canyon, a tranquil setting with a one-mile walking loop and a year-round flowing stream showcasing magnificent palms and more than 150 species of plants. We chose the Palm Canyon hike as we were already close to its trailhead. The trail was mostly wide, well-maintained, and dry. It's an out-and-back trail that's 0.9 miles in each direction. Total elevation change is 224'. At the 0.9-mile mark, it intersects with other trails that allow you to lengthen the distance of your hike. For instance, there was an option to return via another route that would be 2.0 miles (rather than 0.9), but it appeared that it would be mostly in the sun so we decided against it. A few general observations: *this is a family-friendly trail, and there were quite a few kids on the trail. It is NOT stroller-friendly as there's a fairly steep descent at the beginning from the parking lot down to the palms. *the trail was crowded on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, 10:30 am, but many hikers turned after the first 1/4 to 1/2-mile. *there is an entry fee to enter Indian Canyons, but you're allowed to hike as many trails as you'd capable of doing during operating hours. Adult admission is $12, seniors (62+) and students are $7, children (6-12): $6, and U.S. military, and first responders are free. HINT: we purchased our tickets at the Palm Springs Visitors Center and got a $1 discount per ticket. *there are regularly scheduled ranger-led interpretive hikes and ranger talks. *there are three parking areas, all with port-a-potties. *some concessions, including water and Gatorade, are available at the Trading Post, but there aren't any public fountains so make sure to bring a lot of water for this desert environment. *we didn't see any creatures, but you need to careful of where you step or place your hands as there are rattlesnakes in the canyon. *signage is good, but it's also easy to unintentionally go off-trail as there are quite a few unofficial trails. We enjoyed our visit to the Indian Canyons, and will return to do some of the other hikes.
