Western Horizon Indian Waters

About 20 minutes east of Palm Springs on I-10, Indian Waters RV Resort is in an area where the average winter temperature is 74 degrees. One of the biggest attractions in this area is the 130 desert golf courses and the celebrity golf tournaments they attract. Centuries ago, ancestors of the Agua Caliente Cahulla Indians settled in this area and developed communities in Palm, Murray, Andreas, Tahquitz and Chino Canyons. Here, in the Indian Canyons, abundant water and hundreds of plants and animals ensured stable living conditions. Today, the canyons are on the National Register of Historic Places, and some of the land has been deeded to the Agua Caliente people. In Palm Springs, you can visit the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, which is closed during the summer, but when open features various displays telling the story of Cahuilla history through ancient artifacts and photographs of historical people and places. Nearby Joshua Tree National Monument is a must stop if you vacation in this area. A representative stand of Josuha trees and a great variety of plants and animals exist in this desert region of California. The park, covering nearly 560,000 acres, was created in 1936 and was designated a wilderness in 1976. An astonishing variety of life from the world’s deserts awaits you at The Living Desert. You will learn many of the desert’s secrets on a stroll through beautiful zoological and botanical gardens. Many of the world’s rarest animals are displayed in naturalistic settings, including Grevy’s zebras and the world’s smallest fox, the Arabian oryx. The world’s largest single-span lift, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, transports riders from the desert floor to the 8,156-foot mountain station in Mt. San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness
