Hey! Have you been to Indian Canyons in Palm Springs lately? You should. It is looking amazing.

First off, everything is so damn green!!

Yes, that is the Coachella Valley desert…but with green things growing on it!!!  This is not an optical illusion.  I took these photos today.

Then there is all the water!

All that snow in the mountains is melting and, man, is it flowing into in the canyon.

Sure, your feet are going to get wet with all the water crossings, but it really is nice to see all the runoff streaming into the desert.

Then, of course, there is the falls…

It will cost you nine bucks to get in, kids are five, but it is well worth it right now. More details here.

Enjoy your hike!
