V. TRIPS TO THE CANONS AND OTHER 

 NOTABLE POINTS 



IT IS NOT possible in this small book to describe 

 in detail the many points of special beauty or 

 interest which lie within the range of Palm 

 Springs. Here, however, are given brief notes 

 regarding the spots most worth visiting, such as will 

 serve to outline their particular features and to 

 explain how they may be reached. In the latter 

 connection, attention is directed to the map which 

 will be found inside the back cover. 



For convenience I take them in alphabetical 

 order. 



Andreas Caaon is four or five miles south of 

 Palm Springs, on the way and a little to the west 

 of the road to Palm Canon. A fair automobile 

 road goes right to the canon-mouth. There are fine 

 cliffs of the palisade sort, some caves with Indian 

 relics, and many palms, one group of which is 

 remarkable. There is a stream of pure mountain 

 water, and some lovely canon scenery. A divergence 

 may be made on the return trip by taking a trail 

 on the north side of the canon, which leads up to 

 the Gordon trail and gives a splendid view of the 

 palisade cliffs and the desert: then descending the 

 Gordon trail, which connects with the regular Palm 

 Canon road. (See Gordon Trail trip.)
