We have rented bikes here before and we’re ever so impressed with not only the quality of the bikes but with the staff who are very helpful in every which way! Our last bike ride I had gotten a flat tire and called for help and they came with new bike within 15 min! Excellent customer service! So my husband and I went today and rented electric bikes again! Of note, bikes are like new and love them! We went and rode to El Paseo with ease and the staff recommended we take the scenic and safe route which we did! It was a great ride! We then had the energy to come back to La Quinta and do the Bear Creek Trail! It was also a great ride made easy by the electric bike! We look forward to our next trip back and highly recommend renting your bikes here or doing one of their trips! Again, bikes are like new and a pleasure to ride! Love this place and the helpful staff! Thank s You and we will be back!

Lovely desert gardens, fabulous model train display (huge), lots of interesting animal chats, free tram around the park, and wide selection of animals in large natural enclosures. I could happily spend several days there. Lots of places to sit in the shade and have a snack, good bathroom facilities (and plenty of them), nice combo of sunny and shady pathways. Not to be missed!

We hiked. It was fun. There were also people coming with horses as well. We preferred hiking. Every time we passed an oasis, we had to cross the water. Sometimes it was quite funny. We cross at least several oasis. Later we had to climb a mountain and we didn't see the seven sisters. They were there. We had to go at the left side and we could see the waterfalls. P.S. We had to come back through the oasis. We had fun!

Horseback trail ride led by a cowboy guide takes visitors through breathtaking scenery, including breakfast, lunch or hoe-down barbecues.
Reviewed By 792samanthaf
Nice place, relaxed ride with some very for-real cowboys. Enjoyed the guide's friendly patter and inside tips about the countryside and local hikes. It was really fun to see the horses doing their thing. What stood out to me was that that these folks definitely made me and my first-time-on-a-horse husband feel safe--we opted for helmets even though it was hot out, which made me much more confident when my horse was gingerly picking his steps out on loose rocks and steep hillsides. Would definitely go here again.
