Victor Loop Trail
Table of contents
Victor Loop Trail packs the best of Palm Springs into one incredible trail: a palm tree oasis, mountainous backdrop, valley views, and desert terrain. The only downside? You’ll need to look out for rattlesnakes. Be sure to wear a hat, sunscreen, and bring lots of water. It’s best to head out early before the sizzling desert heat takes over.
