Excel Landscape

Spend some time outdoors and challenge yourself by climbing the Maynard Mine Trail, a rugged track that leads to the remains of an old tungsten mine that was operated by Jim Maynard during WWII. It takes time and physical endurance to trek across the 6-mile trail that overlooks the Indian Canyon, offering beautiful vistas along the way.

The Andreas Canyon Trail offers hikers an easy trek winding up the canyon beside a stream with such abundant vegetation it feels like a tropical oasis instead of desert. The 2 mile outdoor trail ends at a fence that allows hikers to return the way they came or cross the stream to enjoy the scenery from the other side of the canyon.

Honor the history of our local ancestors at the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum. The tribal museum traces the history of Palm Springs and the culture, lifestyle and traditions of its original inhabitants, the Cahuilla Indians. Exhibits draw from extensive collections of archeological material, art, crafts, and photographs.
