Each participant must pay the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation entry fee ($12 per person, $7 for seniors 62+) at the Indian Canyons tollgate, just past the south end of South Palm Canyon Drive. Tickets may be purchased in advance online. Because cars may be lined up at the tollgate in season, carpooling is encouraged. You are responsible for arranging your own transportation or ride share. Drivers should proceed all the way into Indian Canyons to meet at the Trading Post.
