Chino Canyon, Desert canyon in Palm Springs, United States
The canyon extends 5.5 miles through Riverside County, dropping from 8,500 feet at the south rim to 2,700 feet on the valley floor.
In 1963, engineers completed the construction of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in Chino Canyon after overcoming numerous technical challenges.
The canyon contains The Vines, a former settlement where Cahuilla Indian medicine man Pedro Chino and Chief Francisco Patencio lived and practiced traditions.
The canyon offers hiking trails and natural features, though access requires careful planning due to limited parking spaces and rough terrain.
The canyon features a creek-fed waterfall with a flow rate of 5.4 cubic feet per second before drying up approximately 3.5 miles downstream.
