Traditional Indian thatched dwelling. Palm Canyon Trail, Indian Canyons, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, Palm Springs, California, USA.

Traditional Indian thatched dwelling, on the Reservation of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. Scenes from hiking the Palm Canyon Trail to Indian Potrero Trail to Stone Pools, and looping back via Victor Trail, in the Indian Canyons, Palm Springs, California, USA. The beautiful Palm Canyon Trail takes you through the world's largest California Fan Palm oasis. The Indian Canyons are the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. The California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera in the palm family Arecaceae) is native to the far southwestern United States and Baja California. Today's oasis environment was protected from a drying climate, restricting this cold-tolerant palm to widely separated relict groves.
