Fun leisurely tour of India Canyons. Christopher is a true naturalist was so knowledgeable about the history of the region. We would recommend this tour for other families too!

Jennie was simply awesome. She took 6 adults on this tour on 12/31 and it was great. She is so knowledgeable but, more importantly, she is so genuinely interested in the area we hiked, the foliage, the history, and the culture. She was able to bring the area to life for us and help us understand the past and the present. The first hike was about a mile - you need sturdy shoes but it is not extremely rigorous and is suitable for all ages. The second hike was shorter and involved some basic bouldering which you can opt out of if you feel it is beyond your comfort zone. We feel fortunate to have been able to spend a little bit of time in Indian Canyon. Thanks!

Indian Canyons was a super excursion. The oasis in the desert needs to be seen if you are in the Palm Springs area. Jim was super knowledgable and solicitous. I would recommend to anyone but especially older folks with more limited mobility.
