Wild cacti are on the loose at the Moorten Botanical Garden. The infamous Moorten family, trained desert aficionados, turned their estate into a living museum of desert lore. See thousands of desert cacti and explore exhibits and attractions that display crystals, rocks and ancient fossils when you spend a day at this famous Palm Springs historical landmark.

Extreme trail blazers burn up the recreation trails at Tahquitz Canyon!

Be prepared to test your balance and master endurance while climbing up and down rock steps as high as 15 inches.
