Oasis
This photograph was composed while hiking in Palm Canyon, one of the three canyons in Southern California's Indian Canyons area. It depicts a desert oasis, populated by California Fan Palms (Bearded Palms).
The Indian Canyons are part of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, founded on May 15, 1876 through Executive Order signed by President Ulysses S. Grant covering 31,610 acres. In 1877 and 1907 the Reservation was extended, to cover 32,000 acres.
The Indian Canyons consist of Palm Canyon, Murray Canyon, and Andreas Canyon, and feature many excellent hiking trails. Palm Canyon is considered the world’s largest California Fan Palm Oasis.
Since 6,700 acres of the reservation are in Palm Springs, California, including Indian Canyons, the tribe is the city's largest collective landowner. The canyons are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
