13 Best Hikes in California
"Those staying in Palm Springs but looking to escape the soaring temperatures of the Coachella Valley can opt for this out-and-back trail — you can even go horseback riding here — in the nearby Agua Caliente Indian Reservation. The easy 3.7-mile walk winds through rocky scrubland, past palm clusters and cactus thickets, and over tranquil creeks to a crystal-clear pond. The water is fed by the Seven Sisters Waterfall, which swells from a trickle to a torrent once the snow begins to melt off the San Jacinto Mountains in the spring." - Travel + Leisure Editors
