Things to do in Riverside County

The Joshua Tree in Joshua Tree National Park has many unique features. It's not a true tree, but a large succulent belonging to the genus *Yucca* in the family Asparagaceae. It has a distinctive shape, with twisted branches and sharp, dagger-like leaves. It grows slowly, can live for hundreds of years, and is said to be edible.

Las Vegas and Palm Springs are worth a visit!

Ticketing is convenient and quick. The world's first Disney park is a bit old, and the castle looks somewhat shabby, but it's the first one! The fun atmosphere remains undiminished, and the food prices inside the park are reasonable, similar to those outside, and the taste is also good. Visiting both parks in one day is perfectly feasible.

It felt a little different from Disney Resort in Japan! It was exciting to ride Cars, a ride that doesn't exist in Japan!

It is a place full of childish fun with a full range of recreational items.

Indian Canyon is a famous scenic spot on the outskirts of Palm Springs, a resort in California, USA. The canyon is full of tall palm trees and clear springs flow in the lower part. The scenic area is an Indian reservation, managed and charged by the local Indian tribe. There are many trails in the scenic area, some long and some short; some are in the lower part of the canyon, and some are in the higher part. It depends on the tourists' own interests, physical strength, and time to choose which trail to walk. The trails in the lower part are flatter, with springs forming streams and dense palm trees, and the remains of the labor of Indian women can be seen; the trails in the higher part require climbing up and down, which consumes physical energy, but the view is wide and the overall scenery of the canyon can be seen. Some tourists are worried about whether there are cobras in the canyon! The warning signs near the visitor center also remind tourists that there are wild animals such as cobras and mountain lions in the valley, so tourists are not allowed to walk on the trails. In fact, most tourists don't care about this problem. The noisy voices and car motors have scared away the wild animals. However, it is right to follow the warning signs and not walk around at will. Before leaving, you can check out the Indian handicrafts in the gift shop at the visitor center.

This place is worth the visit. I will go again but with my daughter dor the second time. My innee child is sooo happy

The preserve is a pleasant stop on the road to Joshua NWR. Good birding if one knows where to wander. Preserve host has several feeders in a shaded area with chairs !! One can relax and get id’s of birds they see. The Wednesday 8 AM birding tour is excellent , led by experienced birders. This is a MUST DO for serious birders.

If you like fishing for rainbow trout or large-mouth bass, this is your spot. The lake has shrunk considerably in the last decades, but it is still picturesque and fun to fish. The friendly ranger at the south entrance gave us a pamplet showing hiking trails and camping sites, most with hook-ups. The Pacific Crest Trail borders the east end of the park and hikers often pitch their tents in the park, A few one-room cabins are also for rent (showers and restrooms are a short walk away). If you rent a cabin, unfortunately you can’t bring your dog. Because the lake has receded, the shore line is a short hike from the camp area. It was hot when we visited in July, but you may need a jacket in the winter because the camp is over 3,000 feet. Bring your binoculars for bird watching!
