Palm Springs, California - City Guide

The crown jewel in the sparkling array of desert towns, Palm Springs is the original "Playground of the Stars" made famous by Rat Pack-era celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, and Lucille Ball. These days, Palm Springs prides itself on being everyone’s playground and has so many fun-filled activities that it would be impossible to accomplish them all in one vacation.

For starters, visitors might orient themselves by taking the aerial tram over 8600 feet to the top of Mount San Jacinto. In cooler months, visitors can ski or snowshoe; summer guests can hike the mountain trails or perhaps opt for a burro ride.

Considered the golf capital of the world, Palm Springs offers some of the best courses available for public play. Within the greater area, there are no less than 100 courses, including five major resorts within the town itself.

Though golf and celebrities may have made it famous, today there is so much more to this cosmopolitan-yet-small-town desert oasis. Superb dining and shopping, art galleries, nightclubs, spas, and nature activities too numerous to name: this is what makes Palm Springs the perfect vacation spot for everyone.
