TAHQUITZ CANYON Named for a mythological evil spirt of the Cahuilla Indians who is represented by a cannibal and believed to live in the San Jacinto Mountains and periodically cause celestial disturbances, this canyon is endowed with a waterfall with a sheer drop of about 60 feet. The setting is so spectacular that it was used as a moving picture location to film the natural beauty of Shangri-La in Lost Horizon. The canyon's roaring waterfall is within easy walking distance of a paved road. CATHEDRAL CITY When Col. Henry Washington made the first survey of the canyon in 1858 he applied this name to the canyon because he thought it resembled a cathedral's apse. The city was mapped in 1925 and acquired its name because of its location on the alluvial fan of the canyon. PALM DESERT A vacant desert land used by General Patton as a training site during World War II, Palm Desert was founded as a real estate development in 1947 when Randall Henderson established it as the home of DESERT Magazine. During the past few years the exclusive Eldorado Country Club has brought fame to Palm Desert as former President Eisenhower's winter home. New residential developments along Fairway Avenue across from the Eldorado are currently considered the most fashionable on the desert. In spite of this, Palm Desert remains a quiet, friendly, informal community without the razzmatazz of Palm Springs and the beautiful new College of the Desert located there insures stability. INDIAN WELLS A government survey of 1920 especially commended the good water found at a roadside trough with faucet and provided by Indian Wells. Long before that, however, water from Indian Wells was utilized by the Cahuilla Indians who occupied the Colorado Desert as far west as San Gorgonio Pass. These wells, installed by the Cahuillas, were somewhat unique in that they had steps leading into them and their contours sloped. Today it is rumored that water from these same Indian wells keep the putting greens of Desi Arnaz' Indian Wells Country Club healthy and green. At night, spectacular lighting against the Santa Rosa Mountains provides an attraction for visitors. LA QUINTA Located in one of the most beautiful of the Santa Rosa's desert coves, there are may tales related to the origin of this beautiful resort's name. One is that La Quinta is derived from the Spanish word for "fifth". Long ago when travelers in covered wagons or astride crossed the desert and recognizable trails had been made, "fifth day" stopping places were established along the route. It is believed by some that the present La Quinta was so named as a memorial to this desert legend of hospitality. Another historian states that it was named after the Spanish word meaning "country estate," while yet another opinion is that it means "the retreat." Whatever, it's a charming spot with many fine residences, a picturesque hotel and an excellent golf course.
