I really wanted to go for a nature walk in the Indian Cove with a hope of seeing desert tortoise, which are apparently not unusual there. Unfortunately, we did not manage to see any :(
Still, it was a nice, short (0.6 mile) walk during which we saw many cacti, Mojave yuccas, desert willows, as well as other plants which names I do not know.
