Discover Hidden Oasis in Murray Canyon

Beautiful canyon, a bit challenging hike, total 4 miles from the parking area, too bad they open the gates at 8am, today the temperature was 100 degrees, would be better to start the hike earlier, Be prepared for the 12.00 per person fee, Once at the trailhead there are picnic tables and clean restrooms, plenty of parking. The hike itself is really nice, takes you thru the desert Oasis, Make sure to bring plenty of water and food or snacks, lots of places to have a dip in the river, the water temperature was perfect. The end of the trail is the Seven Sisters Falls, not really big waterfalls, but this is expected as you are in the middle of the desert.

Fantastic hike! The oasis is amazing and we had a great time on the 4 mile trek. Be prepared for LOTS of stream crossing (loads of water March 13) that have strong currents. You will most likely travel through water 34 times total (out and back). It was mostly shallow but there were times you were in deeper water that came about 3 feet up to cross to continue the trail. We left out tennis shoes on and waded through and had the best time adventuring.

Wow what a really cool experience! We took a swim in the creek under the palm trees 🌴 it was an awesome time. Plan your route first though. We went to the wrong spot initially.

Beautiful hike! My boyfriend and I hiked to the seven sisters starting on the Murray canyon and looping back on the Coffman trail back to the car. We played in the water and climbed on rocks and it took us about 2.5 hrs. Loved it!

I highly highly recommend the 2-mile (one way) Murray Canyon Trail. This was the highlight of my day! Right away I was greeted by so many blooming wildflowers over the landscape. Once I reached the creek I saw many palms that stretched on for a long distance. I got to see the Seven Sisters Waterfall which was a good size fall. On my way back I took a spur trail towards the Coffman Trail and West Fork Trail. This hike has elevation gain but the views along the way and at the top are the best views here at Indian Canyons! As you ascent higher you can see many more blooming wildflowers 10× on the mountains and ridges. Plus, you can see the trail of palms along the Murray Canyon Trail and the city of Palm Springs in the distance. I am so glad I did these hikes in March. Spring is in the air!!!! Don't forget to praise the Creator for all these wonderful creations. Enjoy and have the time of your life!!!! 🙂
