Coachella Valley Preserve

What an amazing place this is. You are literally surrounded by desert BUT here are these random oasis' with these Beautiful large palm trees and ponds! Actually they are not so random. Since we are on the fault line the water comes up from under the earth and creates these beautiful areas. We hiked nearly 3 miles and Aria did so well. We only had to carry her at the very end back to the car on daddy's shoulders. Take a good look at the photo of her near one of the ponds.....it is the one she ends up falling in to....hence the change of clothes! We had a great time and got to see some beautiful flora and fauna before the weather starts getting too hot. The weather was perfect (actually a little chilly at times) and we enjoyed a great lunch underneath the canopy of one of these oasis. Until the next adventure!
