  • Native desert fan palms photographed from above on a rocky cliff over a natural oasis in Southern California.
    Desert Fan Palms
  • A young native desert fan palm emerges from the Coachella Valley Oasis in the shade of hundreds of other fan palms that reach nearly 50' high. Thanks to the San Andreas Fault, over which this small oasis lies and takes advantage of the cracks in the earth deep below from which groundwater seeps.
    Desert Fan Palm
  • Located directly over the San Andreas Fault, this wonderful natural oasis in Southern California is an ideal habitat for many of the desert's inhabitants in search of shade, water, and the prey that come here to seek refuge.
    Coachella Valley Oasis
  • View from the ground in the middle of a native stand of desert fan palms in the Coachella Valley of Southern California. These towering trees are the only palms native to the western United States, and are also the largest native palm in the contiguous United States. Virtually unchanged for millennia, these living fossils provide shade from the unrelenting sun for many of the desert inhabitants, as well as the promise of nearby water.
