Enjoy The Ultimate Outdoor Experience With Adventure Tours Palm Springs

By Daniel Cox


While a day spent sunbathing sounds like the ultimate vacation experience, it only takes an outdoor excursion to have a memorable vacation sometimes. Luckily, there is no shortage of adventure tours Palm Springs. The following are some of the activities you should try out when in the area.

One great way to have a good time outdoors is to explore on foot. This location is renowned for its numerous beautiful hiking trails. In particular, the Indian Canyon Trails stand out. Cool oases and streams surround the trails, providing some good cover from the blistering desert heat. A hike by these trails will bring you up close and personal with the culture of the Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians.

Cable cars provide a great way to check out the landscape as well. Visiting parties always like to head straight to the Aerial Tramway. The cars on this tramway ascend uphill for about 2.5 miles. Two fantastic restaurants sit atop the hill. The hilltop provides clear views of Mt Jacinto State Park. Nature lovers always like to traverse the more than 50 miles of hiking trails that extend from the hilltop.

The surrounding hills are also favored by rock climbers and thrill seekers. Be sure to ask your tour agency if it will be catering for rock climbing. A short training exercise on site is all you need to grasp the basics. The nearby Joshua Tree National Park is also a favorite for climbers. Rock climbing provides an exciting and challenging way to explore the outdoors.

Your itinerary should also include a stop at the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. This enclosure is home to lots of wildlife, some sourced from far off continents such as Africa. It also houses botanical gardens and several hiking trails. In total, the animal species within its bounds number 450.

Some hikers also love to hike on horseback for that distinct old west feeling. Many of the stables that offer guided rides are family owned. Lengthy trails can actually be covered faster on horseback. Some stables offer additional services such as cowboy cookouts at a fee.

Some agencies have a specialty in off road expeditions to the San Andreas Fault in bikes and jeeps. There is a lot to explore including canyons, rugged terrains and desert wildlife. During WW2, this location used to be a training ground for the tank battalion of the army. The commanding officer at the base was General Patton.

Biplanes offer the ultimate way to explore the ground below. You are certain to see them hovering above from time to time. The local flight firms offer flights that last between 15 minutes and 1 hour. With a capacity of three, this option is perfect for couples.

Despite the high costs involved, 1 hour rides are always the best. You get to see all the interesting sites at once. If you are looking for a memorable way to spend the holidays with your family, ensure you visit soon.
