Thousand Palms Oasis

Nestled in Thousand Palms on the northern edge of the Indio Hills, this oasis is part of the larger Coachella Valley Preserve.

Underground water forced upward by the San Andreas Fault sustains rippling fan palms and marshy pools — an extraordinary sight amid the surrounding desert.

A scenic one-mile loop leads visitors past shimmering pools and towering palms—including ancient specimens at McCallum Pond.
