Thousand Palms Oasis in the Coachella Valley Preserve

This delightful haven currently has no user fees, though donations are greatly appreciated.  Explore the Preserve and what it has to offer by visiting the pages on this website, then head over to the Oasis and be even more pleasantly surprised.

 On the northern side of the Coachella Valley, nestled in the Indio Hills, the Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve is the real oasis in the shadow of the old west. We are located just minutes from Palm Springs, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indio and other desert cities.

Enjoy some of the 30 miles of trails, picnic areas, cool oases and wildlife and wildflowers and take a walk into the past in our rustic Visitors’ Center, the Palm House, a palm log cabin built in the 1930’s. Participate in one of our guided hikesif you like.

Remember that your financial assistance is always welcome through your donation . Your support will be used to preserve the Palm House, keep the bathrooms stocked, eradicate invasive species and improve trail access.  Thank you for visiting us!

See our Preserve Informationand HoursPages for important information on Preserve Hours, parking and accessibility.
