The weather during the winter, spring, and fall. Mountains, desert, and cool rocks!

Hot and touristy
In a nutshell
Desert oasis and Alpine mountains within short distance
29 Reviews Here we are! My family went up on a HOT june afternoon to take a tram ride. A great idea since it is about 30 degrees F cooler up there and on a day where the temperature reached 112f, that was perfect! The tram is fast and the view is amazing. On a clear day you can see very very very far! Within...
7 Reviews The Palm Springs Art Museum should be part of you next Palm Springs vacation. Located in the downtown, the museum features historical artifacts along with fine art and sculpture. Upon arrival you will notice fine adorning the walls as well as sculptures scattered throughout the lobby. On the day I...
3 Reviews When you get to the Palm Springs area you are surrounded by lush golf courses and 1000s of swimming pools and have very little exposure to the actual desert that surrounds the area. One of the better ways to experience the desert is with Adventure Hummer Tours that offers a daily trip to the desert...
3 Reviews No permit is required since your already a guest of the Aerial Tramway. They are several trails here you can enjoy. We did the first trail and I did that in flip flops, don’t recommend it, but I survived:) The first is Long Valley Discovery Trail, just follow the nature trail post around a ¾ mile...
2 Reviews OK, you're on vacation, here to relax and have fun. Do you really want to see a memorial to millions of Holocaust victims? We thought about that for a few minutes, and then went to see it. It is definitely worth seeing. The Holocaust Memorial is a place of remembrance, but also a very good way to...
5 Reviews We found this place by accident. We were walking around the downtown area and saw a sign to get to the museum of Art. I asked the kids if they wanted to go and they said yes. I saw a sign that it was about 12 dollars to get in but once we were there the sign said free addmission. I dont know if that...
1 Review This tip could be a "thing to do" or "nightlife tip". It is very nice here and this place is huge. It is the only full-service resort offering casino, spa and hotel amenities. The Spa Resort Casino sits on nine acres in the heart of beautiful and historic downtown Palm Springs. There are table games...
4 Reviews Located in the Village Green Heritage Center is the Agua Caliente Museum which showcases the history, lifestyle, art and culture of the Agua Caliente Band of the Cahuilla Indians and other Indian Nations. Learn about the Agua Caliente through interesting exhibits of art, handicrafts, and other...
1 Review I had never stopped by the Visitors Center here in Palm Springs and I have been to Palm Springs many times. We stopped by this time because the boys had to use the restroom so we decided to checkout what was going on inside. I am glad we did. We got alot of useful information about Palm Springs and...
1 Review Designed by Lloyd Wright (Frank's son) and built back in 1923, the Oasis Hotel Tower was once on of the most modern buildings in California. The advanced concrete construction, wood filigree screens and ornamental pots on the roof made it a unique landmark in the desert. Unfortunately the hotel is...
2 Reviews At the north end of La Plaza stands the Plaza Theater, located at the north edge of La Plaza. It is the most memorable building of the Plaza project from the 1930s, and a monument to Spanish Revival architecture. "The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies" take place here and have been going strong for...
1 Review and 465 Opinions I hate to write this as I do not like the idea of sharing such a fine place as this and my biggest...
5 Reviews and 435 Opinions We only stayed for one night before catching the airplane out the next morning. It was perfect for...
5 Reviews Las Casuelas Terraza is one of the most popular and interesting restaurants in Palm Springs and one place that you must eat while you're visiting the area. The restaurant is packed at dinnertime, particularly on the weekends. You really must make a reservation (unless you want to wait an hour and 20...
2 Reviews The atmosphere is laid back. To order, you must stand in line. They have a nice outdoor seating area. We went back twice the food was so good! Everything on the menu was great and the prices were reasonable. Alaska Air flies into Palm Springs every day and delivers fresh Alaskan fish. Eating fresh...
8 Reviews Club O offers new sophistication to nightlife and experiences of Palm Springs hottest after dark scenes. Mingle at the supremely stocked bar or undulate your body to the pulsating rhythm on the dance floor with other P.S. night owls looking for fun after a along week of work. For the musical...
2 Reviews Though there are many casinos to choose from in the desert area, you don't have to go far if you are staying in downtown Palm Springs. Just a couple of blocks past Palm Canyon Drive, you can walk to Spa Resort Casino for a little gambling fun. There are slot machines galore, but very few tables. I'm...
4 Reviews LAX is far from Palm Springs but it would be less expensive to fly to LAX. Then you would have to rent a car or get on a busor tour to Palm Springs. There is also the Palm Springs Airport but it would be pricey to fly into here. The Ontario Airport is another airport you could fly into.
3 Reviews We flew to Palm Springs, but then needed to get to San Diego or Los Angelos to board a cruise. How do we get from PS to SD or LA? We enquired around. No train. There is a bus. Greyhound. But to get to San Diego (a two and a half hour drive), the bus took eight hours. (I think the bus went via...
3 Reviews Here is a caution and one to take seriously. I live in the mountains so I know. I have seen one of these big cats almost upfront and person, but fortunately he was either not hungry or didn’t feel threaten by me and believe me I gave them space. First tip: Where there is deer or elk, there is...
4 Reviews Make a trip to Lake Mead, the largest man-made lake in the world in terms or volume thanks to the engineering wonder Hoover Dam. Avoid carrying suspicious looking bags in case you incur unnecessary delay to your fellow travellers when the security checks on you. We can't afford a burst dam after...
2 Reviews You can leave the sunny warmth of Palm Springs and witness the spectacular landscape of San Jacinto Mountain and then arrive at the top to a Winter wonderland with magnificent views of the surrounding landscape and the beautiful Coachella Valley below. Sitting on the balcony of the Matchbox Bistro...

Palm Springs is located about 2 hours east of Los Angeles in the desert of Southern California. Please feel free to browse or rate some of my completed tips.
Palm Springs is proud of its 350 days of sunshine. When it began to develop as a resort city, asthmatic and hay fever addicted citizens from all over the US settled in this almost pollen free area. As...
When my husband and I planned a stay in Palm Springs, relatives discouraged us by saying that it's too hot there and that "there is nothing to see". TOTALLY WRONG!
