Trips to the Canons 51 



Whitewater Canon opens to the north from 

 Whitewater Station, which is nine miles by the 

 stage-road from Palm Springs. It contains nothing 

 of special interest, but there are a few palms, also 

 good water, and fair trout-fishing may be found in 

 the season if one goes far enough in the caiion, up 

 which there is a road for a considerable distance. 

 By making the trip on horseback, across country, 

 other places may be taken en route, viz: Seven 

 Palms and the Devil's Garden, which makes it well 

 worth while. Time needed, one long day horseback. 



N. B. As regards excursions involving crossing 

 the open desert (for instance, the trips to Seven 

 Palms, Thousand Palm Caiion, the Sand-dunes, the 

 Devil's Garden, etc.) it is advisable to choose one's 

 day with special reference to wind conditions. On 

 days of strong wind it may easily prove that the 

 pleasure is outweighed by the discomfort.
