Outing details: The hike starts at the dirt road at the far east side of Rimrock Plaza. At the water reservoir tanks we pick up a trail to the top of a plateau that affords great views of Palm Springs, Cathedral City and Murray Peak. We then hike the plateau until we descend into Eagle Canyon at Jane's Hoffbrau Palm Oasis. We will relax in the shade of the palms and then proceed down the canyon beneath high canyon walls and aside large boulders in the wash.  At the end of the canyon we'll go back up the canyon to the trail to a view point and back to the trailhead at Vons.
