Our hotel in Palm Springs
Snowy mountains, palms, and ...
... heated pool
We went on a hike in nearby Indian Canyon
We started in Palm Canyon
California Fan Palms
"The world's largest California Fan Palm oasis" :-)
Starting our hike up
Looking down to where we started from
Looking up
T-shirts and shorts
We must be in a desert
Great choice for winter holiday
High desert
Tough life
Taking a break
Drinking
Plenty of cactus types
Keep going up and up
Here is another type
Leaning
Lunch stop rock
With a view
Map reading
Continuing through a canyon
Crossing a creek
Another much-needed break
Slowly getting back down
Meeting a cowboy in the valley
A long, exhausting hike
