TAKE TIME TO DISCOVER
Desert floor to mountain forest
Steep mountain slopes rise above the Coachella Valley, linking desert habitats with cooler high country. Choose a visitor-center introduction, a foothill walk or a separately arranged mountain experience.

Before you go
Tramway travel is a separate attraction and booking. Check trail conditions, seasonal heat and the specific route’s difficulty.
Give the place time
Choose a manageable walk, viewpoint or tour, and allow time for interpretation. Gateway areas help orient the visit; they are not exact entrance directions.
Make the details easy
Confirm the specific facilities, walking surfaces and vehicle access your group needs. Tours, transport and special access may require separate arrangements.
Check the official source for current access, hours, fees, reservations, permits and alerts. Photos may show earlier conditions. Suggested highlights are visit ideas, not a guarantee that every area is currently open.
