Another bonus is the wide variety of restaurants offered. You can find everything form fast food to international cuisine. A great place to visit, which is rather new, is the Mineral Springs Park. This park features beautiful rock formations, indigenous plants, and twin tiled fountains with natural hot and cold mineral water. This town is also ideal for hiking. Pack a lunch and hike up the sandy, level wash to a hidden canyon. Here you will find the remains of Chuckawalla Bill's rock cabin, built more than 60 years ago. Or explore the 4,500 acre Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. This trail follows a lovely stream and offers more than 235 species of birds, and other desert creatures.
