Overview

As a continuation of Indian Gorge, South Indian Canyon drives through a much more expansive canyon from Indian Valley. Along this adventure, you are submersed in the cirque-shaped bowls in boulder-laid mountains. This cirque-shaped bowl, however, doesn't include glacier-packed lakes but rather an entire sampling of desert plantlife that includes cholla, agave, creosote, and ocotillo. The drive-in provides one experience, while the drive-out gives you an entirely different perspective of Indian Gorge, which you took to get here.
