Tahquitz Canyon
The basics
With its location on the edge of town, Tahquitz Canyon is easy to visit during your time in Palm Springs. The 1.8-mile (2.9-kilometer) loop hike to reach Tahquitz Waterfall starts at the visitor center at the entrance to the canyon. You’ll gain 350 feet (107 meters) in elevation as you navigate the steep, rocky trail, including rock steps.
Things to know before you go
- There is very little shade in the canyon, so bring plenty of water and sun protection.
- Make sure you wear appropriate shoes for the rugged terrain.
- The visitor center features cultural exhibits and artifacts.
- During dry seasons (or years), the waterfall may have little to no water.
How to get there
The canyon entrance is located off West Mesquite Avenue, just southwest of downtown Palm Springs. Bus number 1 stops a short walk from the site.
