Come spend a fun and relaxing weekend with Great Outdoors as we explore the beauty of Palm Springs.  We will explore one of the trails in Indian Canyons on Saturday and a local hike on Sunday.  Indian Canyons have magnificent groves of California Fan Palms and make a breathtaking contrast to the massive rock formations and beautiful desert landscape.  Snow capped mountain peaks in the distance complete the startling and beautiful contrasts of the area.  A moderate path winds down the canyons as we hike along the meandering stream.  An enchanting oasis awaits us….
