Cathedral City

Cathedral City got its name when early surveyors first encountered the cathedral-like granite cliffs of the nearby Santa Rosa mountains. The city has continued to celebrate the beauty of its natural environs by sponsoring outdoor works of art which mimic the cathedral shape of the mountainsides. The first of these pieces, a fifteen-foot tall stainless steel structure by artist Michael Paul Thiry, was recently unveiled at one of the city's entryways. More are on the way, as part of the Public Arts Commission's celebration of the city's unique heritage.

In addition to being art friendly, this community hosts some of the best golfing in the state. The Cimarron Golf Course, the Desert Princess Golf School, and the Cathedral Canyon Golf and Tennis Club all offer visitors the chance to improve their game while soaking up the unique desert atmosphere.

For those interested in the road -- or lack thereof -- less traveled, an eco-jeep tour through the desert might be just the thing. These tours offer visitors the chance to see desert wildlife and to experience the thrill of off-roading under a night sky with more stars than a city dweller might have thought possible.

Cathedral City has something for everyone. Spend the day by the pool or on the golf greens and then visit the Mary Pickford Theater or the Desert IMAX for a show. This kid-friendly small town oasis in the desert is sure to be a vacation spot you'll visit again and again.
