Murray Canyon Trail

This trail in the Agua Caliente Indian Reserve makes a great day hike for those staying near Palm Springs or the Coachella Valley. For 4.7-miles, you will meander through desert landscapes of rocky scrublands, shady palm trees, and oasis-like ponds fed by the Andreas Canyon Creek. It is not a challenging hike, although the weather can be a problem if you are going during the summer. However, the broad and relatively flat path makes it a worthwhile hike for all experience levels.
