The waterfall is located in lower Tahquitz Canyon, a short distance upstream from the Visitor Center. The name of the canyon and its waterfall is from a Cahuilla native of the Agua Caliente folklore.[1] The river flows over a slab of granite atop the falls, after which it plunges about {{convert|60|ft|m}}[2] into a pool. The fall is split once by a protrusion on the face of the canyon wall. The Tahquitz Falls is in the boundaries included in the National Register of Historic Places. AccessThe falls are easily reached by proceeding upstream along the Tahquitz Canyon Trail. The trail gains approximately 350 feet in altitude and runs past the waterfall forming a loop that returns back to the waterfall and to the Visitor Center.[1] The canyon and its trail are owned and managed by the Agua Calientes Band of Cahuilla Indians.[3] In popular cultureThe Tahquitz Falls were used as a scene in Frank Capra's 1937 film, Lost Horizon.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=Palm Springs hiking, from sand to snow|url=http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/lifestyle/travel/sdut-palm-springs-hiking-from-sand-to-snow-2013feb22-htmlstory.html|last=Lister|first=Priscilla |date=22 Feb 2013|work=The San Diego Union-Tribune|accessdate=29 August 2017}} {{Commonscat}}2. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/waterfall/Tahquitz-Falls-6924|title=Tahquitz Falls Riverside County, California|last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website=Northwest Waterfall Survey |publisher= |accessdate=29 August 2017|quote=}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=From hippie hangout to Indian natural preserve, Tahquitz Canyon outside Palm Springs remains a popular place to visit|url=https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2004/dec/23/hippie-hangout-indian-natural-preserve-tahquitz-ca/#|last=Schad|first=Jerry|date=23 Dec 2004|work=San Diego Reader|accessdate=29 August 2017}} 4. ^{{AFI film|6322|Lost Horizon}} 3 : Waterfalls of Yosemite National Park|Waterfalls of Mariposa County, California|Plunge waterfalls |
