Enthralling History of Palm Springs

Palm Springs, California, is a beautiful place where nature, mid-century modern design, and breathtaking history all blend perfectly into one enticing place. To completely appreciate the past of this lively oasis in the Coachella Valley, one of the best experiences is going on guided historical tours through this region.

At Covered Wagons, we stand proud to offer our kind guests a chance to understand and find the rich heritage of Palm Springs and of course the adjacent Sonoran Desert-the-"Historical Tours Palm Springs" experience transports you into the past, unveiling stories and legends that shaped this remarkable place.

Exploring Indigenous Roots and Pioneer Spirit

The adventure starts with a scenic ride in our open-air covered wagons through those dramatic landscapes that have for centuries held in captive wonder travelers' eyes. Your insider guide will get into the rich story of the indigenous ancestors who have inhabited this land for millennia including the well-meshed Cahuilla view into the desert environment; it becomes part of the land.

You will learn more about the early pioneers and adventure seekers who roamed west, seeking a new frontier. Read about prospectors and ranchers who braved the rough country, and find out how, with the railroad and Hollywood elite, a formerly deserted oasis became a bustling resort destination.

Because all tours are part of history, it's possible for someone like me to learn from them and view Mid-Century Modern architecture, which will make perfect sense in Palm Springs, as it does. Appreciate the angular, streamlined, and geometric lines and the flow from the natural landscape as pioneered by architects such as Richard Neutra, Albert Frey, and John Lautner built such structures. It is an architecture that teaches the region's residents, not only in its adaptation to place but in how it reflects thinking. Experiencing Coachella Valley's Culture

There's more to it, and that's the rich history of the Coachella Valley. Then there are guided tours about the traditions and folklore of the Cahuilla, whose people spend so much time in the land utilizing native plants, practicing basketry, and storytelling. Wandering through such winding trails and enjoyable shallow oases helps internalize and value how human settlements co-exist, even then, in this delicate desert ecosystem. It will share how the various geological forces shaped the beauty of this unique landscape, from the loud clamor of the San Andreas Fault to the ancient palm oases that tattoo the terrain.
