Have Some Outdoor Fun With Adventure Tours Palm Springs

By Daniel Cox


If you are the kind of holidaymaker who still thinks of sunbathing as the ultimate holiday experience, you certainly have never gone on an adventure trip. Every year, lots of vacationers sign up for adventure tours Palm Springs. Here is how best to enjoy your vacation should you ever visit.

One of the best ways to explore the outdoors is to do so on foot. This region is home to a plethora of fantastic hiking trails. One good option is the Indian Canyon Trails. The trails are lined with streams and oases surrounded by trees, providing some much needed protection from the desert heat. Hiking these trails will also help you understand the cultural heritage 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.

One location that you should include in your itinerary is the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. It hosts an array of wildlife, some that only roam freely in the plains of Africa. The zoo covers an astonishing 1200 acres and also features hiking trails and botanical gardens. There are more than 450 species of animals within its bounds.

Horseback riding also gives one that timeless old west feeling. The local stables are majorly family owned and deal in guided tours. Horse riding is a faster and easier way to cover the long trails. If you have the money, you may also ask for cowboy cookouts at some stables.

There are tour agencies that also specialize in jeep and bike expeditions to the breathtaking San Andreas Fault. Go off road to explore the desert wildlife, canyons and rugged landscape. During the Second World War, this site served as a training area for the tank infantry division of the army. Back then, it was commanded by 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.

As much as they are expensive, 1 hour rides tend to be the most favored by tourists. The longer your ride, the more you explore. If you are tired of cliche beach vacations, schedule an outdoor expedition in the area soon.
