Beautiful little visitor center building. Nice folks inside.The trail is an easy out and back. Youll break a sweat a little bit going one way, but its not going to kill anyone. Fun hike and cool views of the valley. When we went the waterfall was dry but it was still good.

What a pleasure dinner was here. Delicious food and interesting variety, we had crepes, mango stuffed with chicken salad and short rib. Everything was severed hot (where appropriate), was top notch quality. Looking forward to returning!

Amazing place, not too hard for the kids. The waterfall in the end is still working and there is still a small lake that can be good for swimming.Take a lot of water as the weather is really horrible. You can start 7 am and finish by 9 am, this is the best time to go there.

Great place to go on a hike. The amazing thing is getting to the waterfall. Even in August the water is still running. Kinda scary because so many people are there not wearing masks at the waterfall, but really good about wearing them on the path. Easy to get to the waterfall. Bring plenty of water and get into the water.

We were not allowed to take pictures for reasons unexplained to us. There were no signs stating such that we saw, just aggressive guards telling us to put our cameras away. Taking pictures of part of the modern experience. If you dont want pictures taken, you should post it high and wide, not get angry with people taking them. It was a beautiful place to be, except for the ire we accidentally raised by taking pictures.

A good desert perch mid-level above the city view. Visitor Center is ONLY hikers check in,, hikers fee, bring water, wear appropriate clothing and hiking shoes.

This is an incredibly beautiful area. We went on the hike with a guide. He was very informative and it’s a great way to learn about the history and the wildlife around you. The hike itself is a lot of uphill. Big steps and rocks on the trail. On the way down the big steps are hard on the knees and ankles. It’s all around good for most ages. Saw some really young kids and some older people on the trail.

A great walk to see a small waterfall, sadly water was not there but its still a great little hike. If you dont in the morning there is shadow so you dont cook!

Good place to go once or very occasionally. Gift shop is dark and boring. The prices were excellent if I did wanna buy anything. Parking was relatively easy. The trail was tight so it was hard to pass or get through. The staff was nice. A ranger at the waterfall made it safe. Thanks see you again.

Its definitely a do-able hike! Me and my friend went and we had no problem hiking it and I dont exactly hike all the time

We unfortunately faced discrimination. We brought an umbrella because we want to be shielded from UV on the trail, but upon entry an employee told us we could not bring it in. We asked if that rule was anywhere in writing because, the rules on their website don’t say anything about umbrellas. She said that they could do whatever they want and we are not allowed in. She then let three people with umbrellas directly behind us on the trail! I traveled all the way from Florida to experience the natural beauty of this place and I won’t be able to do that now. This was a very traumatizing experience. The lady was older with fair skin tone, and my boyfriend and I are an interracial couple.Btw their written rules are as follows:SafetyHike with a friend. Also, tell another friend where you will be hiking and when you expect to return.Stay within your capabilities. For hikes 2 miles and longer, bring extra water, food and supplies.Know your trail. Use a map and a compass when hiking in back country.You must carry water. Hydrate your body the night before. No alcohol; alcohol speeds up dehydration. Carry as much drinking water as you can. Rule of thumb: you will need at least one quart of water for every hour of hiking. Drinking when you are thirsty is too late. When half of your water is gone, turn around and head back.Protect yourself from the sun. Dress in layers. Wear loose clothing; long-sleeve shirt, long pants, wide brim hat, sunglasses, and sturdy shoes. Use sunblock and lip balm.Assume all snakes are dangerous. Pay attention when to where you step and where you place your hands. Let the snake go its way. Do not harm or handle snakes.Keep children near you and stay on the trail.Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.Pace yourself.Items that may come in handy: flashlight, GPS/cell phone, whistle, poncho, pocket knife, first aid kit.RulesNo fires.No smoking.No alcoholic beverages.No bicycles or motorized vehicles on trails.No animals.No rock climbing.No firearms, explosives or fireworks.No loud music or noise.Do not disturb or deface natural or cultural objects; do not remove any objects.Obey posted speed limits.Hike on designated trail only.Park in designated areas only.No dronesIt is unacceptable to treat people this way and I will not support it.

It astonishing here! The water is unbelievably clear, the waterfall was flowing beautifully. Definite must!

A waterfall in Palm Springs?! This hike is perfect for hikers of any age and ability as its much more of a beautiful nature walk than a strenuous hike. Ending at the waterfall is so rewarding and worth the 12$ entrance fee, but I was disappointed in the short length of the hike.Things to know:Cost is $12.50 for adults, there is a designated parking lot, swimming is allowed, cars parked in the lost past 5pm will be towed.

Awesome Oasis in the desert! A beautiful hike with beautiful views. Well maintained trails, excellent staff. A must-visit for both tourists and locals alike!

This is a great walk and the waterfall and River are spectacular. Since the floods a few months ago they have reorganized the walk which seems a bit harder. Fine for me but some folks might struggle.

Beautiful 1 mile hike. Not too difficult. Some large rock steps.

Spectacular hike, friendly service. Summer rates are very affordable. Hiking poles make it easier, and they have ones you can borrow!

Good place to hike.

Fun but didnt blow my mind.

Great hiking trail. Not too long. Only downside is that theres hardly any shade so try to go when its not too hot. And be careful for the rattlesnakes!

Safety is number 1. It was fun

The guide was so lively and knowledgeable! Great hike to do but would for sure opt for a free guide because there is so much to learn

Good little hike but river bed/ water fall dried up. Great view of Coachella Valley

Short 2 mile round trip hike to Tahquitz Falls. Beautiful canyon. Moderate hike. Well marked trail and points of interest.

Best place ever you walk for a bit thenyou get to the waterfall and have fun! definitely recommend

Its an easy hike. If you have time head down to Indiana Canyons

Hike to the waterfalls was easy and the waterfalls were larger than I expected.

I wasnt overly impressed with tahquitz canyon. The cost was $12 to get in and the waterfall view wasnt that spectacular. Ive seen much better waterfalls that were free. There was barely any parking because the place is so busy and we had to wait for a spot to open. The trail had a decent amount of people on it obviously which seemed a little bit strange because there wasnt that much to see. The canyon itself is pretty cool and we did see a ram.

Nice scenery. Good walk and medium level as some good size up steps. Nice way to spend a 60 to 70 degree day. Can get pretty hot as mainly open.

Nice short loop hike with a waterfall. Admission fee applies though

Always great. With spectacular views this time the waterfall was flowing.

It is definitely pretty place mid of the desert, but the price you pay the trail not worth. Yes 12,5$ not a lot, but once you pay you expect at least clean path and somewhere just seat once you arrive destination :((

A short and simple hike to the falls. Its about one mile one way, the views are beautiful and the water is always cold. If youre lucky, you may see some Big Horn Sheep in the area.

Great little hike. I little in the pricy side but the payoff was great. Only one mile each way, with two routes to follow. Mild enough for a 3 year old and a 72 year old.No strollers allowed, but easy to go with kids.

Best hike ever no cap ong

Nice hiking trails and beautiful water fall. A good place to enjoy with a family

Beautiful hike after a rain shower.

A great hike for novice or professional. Easy and a little challenging with great views.

Well worth the $12.50 for 2 mile gradual uphill hike to the falls

Use to be cool before all of southern California sheeple decided to start coming to our city.

Firstly, Palm Springs is very bike friendly, especially around the downtown. This location very off the downtown and offers spectacular views. The visiting center is well maintained and is very informative. The waterfall is seasonal. $12.50 per adult might not be worth it the waterfall is dry. Instead home the South lykken trail. Its about 4 to 4.5 miles with 1100ft elevation gain. Carry water and there are absolutely no restrooms in the trail path.

The tahquitz fall is beautiful up there.

Beautiful hike and a ton of water, bring plenty of drinking water!

Waterfall is awesome water is nice and cold great to take a little dip especially after walking in the desert heat.only problem in this pandemic there are lots of people hard to have social distancing to beat all the foot traffic you need to go when they first open in the early morning....

Beautiful hike and waterfall. Not many live creatures

Staff was friendly, the price to hike seemed a little pricey until you get out on the trail and realize its worth it. The waterfall trail is well kept and serene. A must do when in Palm springs and the weather permits.

So cool and clean. Easy walk.

My wife and I took our 3.5 yo on their hiking loop. It took about 2 hours with 1 melt down, but it was enjoyable regardless. Theres a wide range of ages that hike the path. The waterfall at the end before turning back was nice. You can swim in it if you want. $25 for two adults.

Beautiful hike trail. Easy enough for families with young kids

Beautiful Hike Get out do it!! $12.50 entry fee

The hike to Tahquitz Falls is a beautiful walk up the canyon. Be sure to bring the map guide to enjoy the marked features along the way. The volume of the water at the falls is dependent upon recent rains... so expect more after replenishing weather. Unfortunately the fee the tribe charges to visit has been increasing, but this a pleasant diversion for a nature walk right downtown Palm Springs. The trail is not too strenuous and a great adventure for kids of ages.

This is a Spectacular hike!!!! Well worth the admission price. Gorgeous trail and Waterfall!!! Cant wait to bring a hiking buddy.

Went in February so the weather was perfect. Good trail and a very beautiful place, video in the visitor’s center was helpful to learn about the history, staff was professional.

Totally worth the hike, water was around 65 degrees at the falls. 06-27-2019

A must see especially in the spring when the water fall is at its fullest.

Helpful staff. Amazing hikes. Wonderful place. Thank you for taking care of such treasures.

Waterfall hike is an easy to medium trail and definitely worth the views.

Beautiful place plus the Rangers are great. They conduct a very informative tour.

Enjoyed the hike immensely. Waterfall at the top was great. Lots of hummingbirds. Only negative is that the staff at the welcome center were comically unfriendedly and unhelpful.

Best shoter moderate hike!!! Very friendly with visitor center

Our family had a decent encounter at the Visitors Center. The ladies working were friendly enough offering maps and details when asked but there was a young male park ranger closing down at 5 at the center that had a fantastic sense of humor. His personality alone was worth 4 stars.

Absolutely stunning. An oasis in the middle of nowhere really. This would be a great date. Starting with little hike where you end with a picnic by the waterfall. Breathtaking really.There are great photo ops along the way as well. I would recommend this to anyone travelling to Palm Springs. Id give it 10 stars if that was an option.

Great space. Short walk.

Great hike, beautiful views

The hike is great but the boulders are too heavy to move by yourself.

Fun and beautiful hike. Was able to see the sheep while there.

Great hiking trail that ends at an amazing waterfall!

Wear good shoes, bring water and enjoy the beautiful hike. We saw 2 bighorn sheep, which was a bonus!

Beautiful place, with so much history, lore, and our hike along the stream led us to a lovely waterfall.

Its a two mile hike all the way around the trail. The trail itself is well marked and the Tahquitz Waterfall is beautiful. Nice place to sit and reflect, or have a picnic. They do offer guided tours if you want to learn more about the original settlers... But Im not sure if they charge extra for that. It costs $12.50 per adult just to hike on your own.

A great place to hike. Bring 1 bottle of water per person...

Great cool morning, only one on guides trip. Interesting facts. 2nd time at hike to falls. Go early to avoid sun and heat. Takquitz is on Indian land and is run and led by members of that tribe.

This is a great, quick, small hike, especially for children. This past spring the waterfall was amazing. I had no idea something so close to downtown Palm Springs would have this kind of waterfall. The maps, with explanations of the Native American markings and plant life on the trails was quite good. My only complaint was the price. It was quite costly for two adults and four children.

12.5 dollars to enter a 45min hike to see a waterfall... well, they know how to make business.

Great area

Soooo beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous hike.

Its was great the scenery is beautiful. My cousin was visiting from Florida and it was kind of by accident that we had found it. So glad we did.

Nice short hike, good for families. Plenty of stairs, so be ready to climb.

Easy hike in and out. About 1 .Ile each way entrance fee is about $12. Bring water.

They sell bottled water and is air conditioned. Plus they give you helpful information about the trail - what more could you ask for?!

A very incredible experience! Walking in these canyons make you feel like your stepping back in time! Just pure beauty and historical lands!

Super hot!

Beautiful scenery; fairly easy 1 hr hike.

Really nice hike, on sand, along rocks, looking for animals and a refreshing bath in the pond at the waterfall

Very helpful and friendly staff! The hike was a wonderful experience! The waterfall is blazing with water at this time of year!!!

A must in cool weather.interesting history but high summer would be a challenge

Beautiful little hike to the waterfall!

Beautiful... Be Ready to Spend the Day... Bring Lunch

Beautiful but pricey to go on the hike.

The visitor center is small but adequate. Nice clean public restrooms. Water also available at visitor center. Some books available too. Strongly recommend making a reservation for guided tour. Guide is knowledgeable and pointed out lots of things we would have missed. Three are a lot of steps to get to the falls, but not difficult. Best to take your time.

Amazing hike that you dont want to miss! The waterfall is magical and a nice reward for the ~40 min hike. The hike is easy and for all ages.Hikers need to check-in at the visitor center, children under 3 are free, adult tickets are a bit pricey. Bring water and a sun hat.

Free hiking tour through the Canyon, well worth a visit.

Is it true you have to pay? If so, how much?

The visitor center was not much more than a place to collect money for the park. They do not provide many discounts, even for seniors, and they still charged full price dispite a large section of the trail being closed. The only positives I can think of was that they provided a variety of walking sticks for use free of charge and the bathroom was clean.

Just overall a beautiful hike and beautiful waterfall!

Good food. Good service.

Nice scenery easy to moderate hiking.

Incredible waterfall at the end of the hike. There are lots of steps on the trail but it is pretty easy to make it to the end. Great views and lots of photo ops.

The creek and the waterfall are nice but not spectacular. There r many people on the trail and waterfall. Not the greatest experience, especially that you have to pay $12 to hike.

Great place to be
