Palm Springs

by bruingirl - last update: Aug 25, 2003

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;-]
