Located 10 miles east of downtown Palm Springs, the Coachella Valley Preserve is a beautiful nature park filled with an array of wildlife and desert plant life. The area is also the only place where you can see the Coachella Valley fringe lizard.

If you hike far enough into the park, you may also be able to explore the famous Thousand Palms Oasis, which is fed water through a deep crack in the San Andreas Fault Line.

The six-mile Pushawalla Palms trail is the most challenging of those available in the park, but it is also the most rewarding as it provides an excellent view of the valley and takes visitors to the stunning Pushawalla Palms Oasis.

The easiest of the trails is the Willis Palms trail, but even this involves a four mile-long hike, so come prepared for a decent walk.

The Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard is a small, highly specialized reptile that inhabits the windblown desert regions of the Coachella Valley in Riverside County, California. It derives its common name not only from its home, but also from the enlarged scales along its toes. This lizard has adapted other unique forms and structures to enable it to survive in the harsh desert habitat including a wedged-shaped nose which enables it to burrow through loose, fine sand, elongated scales cover the ears to keep out blowing sand, and specialized nostrils that allow it to breathe below the sand without inhaling sand particles.

The fringe-toed lizard has a whitish or sand-colored back and belly, with a light pattern of eye-like markings that form shoulder stripes. Fringe-toed lizards average 6 to 9 inches in length. Breeding occurs from late April through mid-August. Little is known about the location and timing of egg laying, however, hatchlings begin to appear from late June to early September. They hibernate during the winter and are most active during the daylight hours. When summer temperatures reach or exceed lethal limits, the lizard escapes from the heat by “swimming” or burrowing beneath the sand and restricts its activities to the early morning and late afternoon hours.
