Palm Springs

by Lauren on June 4, 2009

Palm Springs might be famous for its funky Modernist architecture, sprawling golf courses and ocean of windmill farms, but it is in addition a great spot to invest the weekend — especially with the milder winter a few days.

Veronica Hill of California Travel Tips tours beautiful Palm Springs California. Situated 114 miles east of la within the I-10 and 111 roads, this balmy desert oasis comprises an attractive weekend escape.

A couple of of the very popular Palm Springs sights uld function as famous Palm Springs Tram, that whisks you 8,500 feet above Mount San Jacinto, the Desert Adventures Jeep Tour, that can you in to the California desert and also over the San Andreas Fault, along with the educational Living Desert zoo and botanical gardens, to get yourself a detailed-up take a look at native desert plants and desert creatures.

If you are searching to remain the weekend, Palm Springs hotels for example Desert Riviera Hotel and Horizon Hotel concentrate on the trendy crowd trying to find a little of retro chic. Are generally situated within the Heritage District, which hosts plenty of Palm Springs Mid Century Modern structures.

Palm Springs resorts like Rancho Las Palmas along with the Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort & Health health health spa provide great pools, golf courses and spas.

Just for no matter what,ough meven stay the evening at Frank Sinatra's former Twin Palms estate, or possibly the honeymoon hideaway of Elvis. Daily house around the Elvis home ($25 mon-comes to an end and $35 weekends) can be found by appointment.

By evening you'll uncover some lighter moments Palm Springs entertainment within the customers hands Springs Follies, where an over-55 cast of vaudeville artists pay homage to Route 66 within the musical revue.

Before departing, make certain to visit the Shield's Date Farm in Indio, to stock on Medjool dates, moist date nut bread or sample among their famous creamy date shakes. You'll think you've died and attended paradise.

Palm Springs weather conditions are not the same as the 70s throughout the cold several weeks several days and spring close to 110 F with the summer time season a few days, so ensure you've packed accordingly. Even throughout high season, you need to bring a jacket. Evening temps frequently dip in to the 40s.

Sorry, but I don’t hang out at gay spas and nightclubs filming men getting it on. And I can promise you that is not the part of Palm Springs *most* people want to see; probably only a select group. This is a family channel, and that’s not somewhere I hang out. Maybe you should do a video on the seedy side of Palm Springs since you’re such an expert. I’ll stick with the standard attractions. BTW, I do mention the trams.

Thanks for your comment. Can you make a few suggestions for your favorite spots and restaurants? It’s always nice to get a local’s perspective! Veronica

I am from Palm Springs, and trust me, there is so much more beauty to this place than what is presented in the video. I highly recommend anyone who wishes to visit to come during the winter. All the best places to eat out are along HWY 111, and the best place to shop is in Palm Desert.

Love the PS area. Vacationed there many times and at one time had a home built in Palm Desert near Shadow Mountains but had to sell it due to financial situation :-( I still visit PS on occasion.

Hi Tim! Yes, unless …
Hi Tim! Yes, unless you’re accustomed to the heat, it can really take a toll on you. During the summer, you pretty much have to spend all your time in the pool or indoors with the AC blasting. I think April would be perfect weather!

AsktheBuilder June 4, 2009 at 11:48 pm

Veronica,

Veronica,
This is indeed one place I want to see. 110 F, yeouuch! That’s too hot for me. Sounds like the time to come is April.
