Tahquitz Falls

Tahquitz Falls is a waterfall on Tahquitz River in the west skirt of the city Palm Springs, in the U.S. state of California. The waterfall is located in lower Tahquitz Canyon, a short distance upstream from the Visitor Center. The name of the canyon and its waterfall is from a Cahuilla native of the Agua Caliente folklore. The river flows over a slab of granite atop the falls, after which it plunges about into a pool. The fall is split once by a protrusion on the face of the canyon wall. The Tahquitz Falls is in the boundaries included in the National Register of Historic Places.
