  This is the first oasis I have been too. It was incredible to be right in the middle of the palm trees. It was so much cooler in the shade of the thick group of palm trees. A natural spring made the ground wet. We also saw types of lizards we had never seen before. Make sure you carry water and stay on the trails. There is a short peek near by you can walk up and see 360 views. This is also on the San Andreas Fault Line. There is a sign that marks it but it is not otherwise obvious.

  I cannot recommend the Coachella Valley Preserve enough. If you’re in the Palm Springs area, this is an absolute must-visit. It feels like a true mirage—one minute you’re in the arid desert, and the next you’re walking through a lush forest of towering California Fan Palms. We took the McCallum Trail, which is a fairly easy 2-mile round trip. The boardwalk section through the marsh is beautiful, and the payoff at the McCallum Grove pond is incredible. Seeing the Desert Pupfish in the water and hearing the wind rustle through the palm 'skirts' is so peaceful. It’s a great spot for photography—the contrast between the green palms and the sandy Indio Hills is stunning.
