The Coachella Valley Preserve is located 10 miles east of Palm Springs in the bluffs and mesas of the Indio Hills. It is a 17,000 acre site that is home to the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard, which is found nowhere else in the world. It is also home of the spectacular Thousand Palm Oasis which is fed by water seeping out of the San Andreas Fault. There are also several other Palm Oases, including the Willis, Hidden Horseshoe, and Indian Palms. Located in the center is the Paul Wilhelm Grove that is also the location of the Preserve’s visitor’s center. The preserve has several hiking trails including the McCallum, Hidden Palms, Moon Country, Pushawalla Palms, and Willis Palms trails.

Walk through two separate and unique oases to see what occurs as the San Andreas fault bisects the valley. This walk will typically take about 2 1/2 hours and will take you on a 2 mile (3.2 km) round trip. The signature of this hike is that it is about what you want to learn. You will look for wildlife and wildflowers, the San Andreas fault and the California fan palm. From the Cahuilla use of medicinal plants to how the fault forms the Indio Hills, Harlan looks for teachable moments to underscore the beauty of this desert. Harlan is a retired teacher whose curiosity keeps him learning. He loves to share what he knows.
