Our team’s handpicked favorites for your perfect Indio spring escape!

Spring in the desert brings a spectacular transformation as temperatures become perfect and wildflowers paint the landscape with vibrant colors.

We asked our Stay Wandery team, those who know the Coachella Valley’s secret treasures, to share their personal favorite activities for guests looking to venture beyond our amazing properties:

Hike Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve

This natural wonder offers a quick nature-based escape, just 15 minutes from Lazy River Resort.

The easy 2-mile McCallum Trail is one of our favorites for its accessibility and dramatic scenery, with spring bringing desert wildflowers and active wildlife.

Golf at Shadow Hills Golf Club

Shadow Hills is an 18-hole course just minutes from Lazy River Resort. This par-72 layout offers challenges for experienced players while remaining enjoyable for casual golfers.

The modern clubhouse provides a perfect setting for post-round refreshments, with our team particularly recommending the signature cocktails.

Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride

For a truly unforgettable spring experience, try seeing the desert from above!

These one-hour flights offer breathtaking panoramas of Joshua Tree, the San Bernardino Mountains, and the patchwork of desert landscapes below!

After exploring these desert treasures, return to the luxury of your Stay Wandery Estate, where our custom pools, hot tub, and resort-style amenities await.
