Indio sits in the broad Coachella Valley at the foot of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains, framed by arid desert plains, palm-lined arroyos, steep alluvial fans and narrow mountain gorges. Nearby waterfall hikes are largely moderate routes up rugged canyon washes and mountain ridgelines with a few short, easy roadside cascades; many falls are seasonal, fed by winter rains and snowmelt, producing striking desert-to-oasis contrasts and palm-shaded pools.
