THINGS TO DO IN PALM SPRINGS

Updated: Mar 6, 2023



Long a retreat for those seeking peace and quiet from the Los Angeles area, Palm Springs has recently expanded its appeal beyond coastal Californians to include both domestic and foreign tourists. There's no need to ask yourself, "What is there to do in Palm Springs?" Whether you're drawn to its natural beauty, its renowned midcentury architecture, or the celebrity houses of a bygone period of glamour.


There are many dining options, top-notch attractions like the tramway in Palm Springs, CA, and golf courses where you can play, so there is no shortage of leisurely fun in the Palm Springs Desert.


1. The Living Desert

In addition to protecting the ecosystem, this desert conservation project seeks to preserve a piece of the Colorado Desert so that locals and visitors can enjoy the area's rich natural heritage. The Living Desert offers a variety of hiking routes as well as informative displays, activities, and publications that teach visitors about this distinctive habitat.

2. Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

Chico Canyon's imposing cliffs are responsible for Palm Springs' stunning scenery and the abundance of options for genuine outdoor adventure. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will take you to a viewing deck where you can observe the valley below. This is one way to get to the nearly 2,600-foot elevation of these mountains.


3. Shields Date Garden

The Shields Date Garden was established in 1924 as a farm to educate the neighborhood about the customs around dates—a fruit that was unknown at the time—is a distinctive attraction in the region. A new walkway that winds through the 17-acre farm's interior allows visitors to pass recently purchased statues that represent 14 scenes from the life of Jesus Christ while traveling through the farm's interior.


4. San Gorgonio Wind Park

With 2,700 wind turbines built in the 1980s, the San Gorgonio Wind Park in Palm Springs is the oldest wind farm in the country. The best way to understand how these wind turbines, some of which reach nearly 300 feet high, transform wind into energy is to take a tour of this desert site.


Sum It Up

Stop speculating about what to do in Palm Springs, and come see for yourself. Whether you want to sit by the pool or want to experience San Jacinto Peak Palm Springs, you will love Highland House Palm Springs home. You'll have everything you need to create enduring moments with your closest friends, from the spacious bedrooms to the kitchen and living areas.
