Indian Canyons

 This morning Kevin & I went and hiked Indian Canyons, it was so beautiful. I had no idea there was a spring in Palm Springs but as we were walking along the palm lined spring I realized how Palm Springs got its name...duh!
 There were miles and miles of trails, can't believe it took us 3 trips to Palm Springs to finally go on a hike. Now we can't wait for next time!
 The view of the indigineous palms from the top
 So interesting how they look when they don't get trimmed.

 This reminded us of the Dr. Seuss book The Lorax.

 We started off on one trail that was super rocky- it was also very steep. About a mile into it I insisted we turn back because it was more like rock climing instead of hiking and since heights aren't exactly my thing I was getting a little panicky! I know...I'm a wimp.

 There was a little waterfall inbetween these rocks, pretty cool to see a water fall in the middle of the desert!
This was the road into the trial head. Pretty cool.

I get panicky on steep stuff too. Looks gorgeous.
