PALM SPRINGS MOUNTAIN BIKE TOURS

This tour combines the two best ways to see our gorgeous Valley, by bike and by hike. We start riding from our shop in downtown Palm Springs. The bike route is ten miles round trip and takes us through some of Palm Springs older neighborhoods including the Canyon Country Club area. We enter Indian Canyons, ancestral home of the local Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, and take the climb to the Andreas Canyon trailhead. From there we will take an easy and scenic nature walk that includes several stream crossings, incredible rock formations, possible wildlife sightings, a canopy of native palm trees, and stark desert canyon scenery. Guests will enjoy the varied and exotic scenery so close to downtown Palm Springs!

Must be at least 12 years old to participate.

Big Wheel Tours has partnered with Kind Traveler and Friends of the Desert Mountains to support local conservation and education programs here in the Coachella Valley. One dollar from each tour reservation is donated to Friends of the Desert Mountains, a local organization that both purchases land for preservation and offers education programs about the flora and fauna that surrounds our magnificent desert.

Thank you for helping us with a great cause and ensuring that the Coachella Valley remains a beautiful and pristine landscaped for years to come.

Riders are treated to a geologic extravaganza on this 20 mile tour that descends through the heart of the San Andreas Fault zone on a paved road to the heart of grape country near Mecca. There are no cross roads, no turns, and very little traffic which makes this a relaxing sightseeing adventure. Riders will see the stark beauty of the desert as they descend a total of 1200 feet over the route.

The course takes riders from the transition zone between the Colorado and Mojave Desert, winds its way through the narrow canyon walls of Box Canyon and finishes with spectacular views of the Salton Sea, Mt. San Jacinto, the All-American Canal, and the agriculture of the eastern Coachella Valley.
