I did this hike with Carter a 10 year old, and we both enjoyed it. Walking up the trail with the guide map and looking for the marked rocks and signs was interesting but the waterfall was really great! We did this hike at the beginning of April with lots of water cascading down and going into the pond. Carter... More

I hiked this beautiful canyon many times while growing up in the Desert. Since it reopened it is more beautiful than ever. The park service is taking very good care of the trails.

This was a complete surprise. Simply gorgeous, and not what I expected to find in the desert. Well worth the exercise to get there.

We took the guided hike with a ranger and he was excellent. After watching the movie we took a leisurely walk to the waterfall with a lot of stops. Amazingly, with a wide age range of walkers, he paced the walk so it was good for everyone. Lots of local knowledge and background of the Canyon that was not included... More

Sure you pay for a hike, but I believe if that money goes to preserve and maintain something like this than it is money well spent. Nice loop along a stream to a shaded picturesque waterfall. My 4 year old hiked the whole thing and loved it. Lots of lizards running around, some shade in the morning and in April... More

My son (10) was not having anything to do with this hike due to knowing that there were tarantulas and snakes somewhere out there in the desert. 'What if they are on the trail?' Our guide Mike (Wednesdays only - definitely worth going on Wednesday - he was just awesome) immediately put my son at ease and partnered up with... More

I first learned of this trail from a Canadian couple I met the night before during my stay in Palm Springs. I decided to check it out. I had a blast. I did the hike by myself and felt totally comfortable. The hike was super easy and the waterfall was so serene. I spent an hour down by the waterfall... More

Go early before it gets too hot. Two mile loop, one mile up and one mile down. Worth the walk to see the beautiful waterfall at the top, crystal clear water which you could paddle in to cool off before the walk down. Informative map given when you pay the admission price, worth a look....again, fabulous views. Take more than... More

Our guide book rated this hike as "easy" - maybe for a mountain goat! We would rate it as moderate plus. There's a fair bit of stepping around rocks and the trail goes up and down and up and down. The view of the waterfall at the end is worth the effort. Make sure you take plenty of sunscreen and... More
