A Waterfall in the Desert?

Yes, there is! One day we went to do the hike up Tahquitz Canyon to Tahquitz Falls. This is the view up the canyon from where we started.

There are a couple places where you have to cross Tahquitz Creek, but fortunately, there are nice walkways.

Along the way, here were beautiful flowers and some very unique rocks.

And we found a rock where Native Americans ground their corn.

After more than a mile of uphill climb, we got to Tahquitz Falls! What a surprise - it was beautiful!

The downhill walk back to the parking lot was much easier.

On another day, we had lunch with a friend in La Quinta, and went to their Sunday Farmers Market.

I loved this sign!

After lunch we drove over to check out Lake Cahuilla - also quite a surprise.

Good night!
