Reconnect with Nature’s Healing Power
There is something truly special about the desert landscape. The vast, open skies and majestic mountains have a way of putting everything into perspective. We invite you to step outside and let nature work its magic.
Indian Canyons
For a hiking experience that feels spiritual, we highly recommend Indian Canyons. Just minutes from downtown, these ancestral lands of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians offer breathtaking trails. Walking among the native California fan palms and listening to the trickling streams is a powerful way to ground yourself. It’s a gentle reminder of the beauty that surrounds us.
