Back in the early to mid-90s, Palm Springs was the "party haven" for college students during spring break. After a lot of police crack-downs, it's not quite the "party" place it used to be. Since then, Palm Springs has been built up to cater more towards the high-end retirees, golf fanatics, spa indulgers, hikers, and rock climbers. There's plenty to do for everyone!
- Pros:The weather during the winter, spring, and fall. Mountains, desert, and cool rocks!
- Cons:Too hot in the summer months! But, prices are much better!
- In a nutshell:Great weekend getaway!

Congratulations on that hike. I'm not going to follow in your footsteps, but I am hoping on going on a long hike after taking the tram to the top. Fancy hotels! I've never stayed in that fancy a hotel.
You were a lot more energetic than we were at the top of the tram. We hiked for about 30 minutes :-) See my Palm Desert page. Ken
Next time, take the tram to the top and hike to the top of San Jacintosomething like 10-12 miles and I always found it a super tonic for the LA air. The views include most of SoCal on a clear day. Nice travellogue ... for a Bruin;-]
Bruin as in "UCLA Bruins"? I enjoyed your Palm Springs photos, BG. Nice job. Good info on restaurants and hotels.
