Five reasons why Palm Springs is the best
I recently returned from Palm Springs--once the vacation destination of the Rat Pack and other famous聽names from 1950s Hollywood. 聽With Coachella and Stagecoach fast approaching, I thought I'd give you five聽reasons why Palm Springs is the best!聽
1. 聽The Airport
It's completely outdoors--the weather in Palm Springs during most of the year is extremely pleasant (save the summer months). 聽If you're traveling through with children, there's even an outdoor playground for them to play on! 聽The airport is small, which makes it extremely easy to get in and out of when passing through!
2. 聽The History
As mentioned, the history of the Valley is studded with stories from the golden years of Hollywood. 聽Known as "Hollywood's Playground," take a heritage tour to check out all the mid-century modern architecture that dots the desert.
3. 聽The Weather
It rarely rains here (it is the desert, after all), and the constant dose of Vitamin D should keep you happy! 聽Summer is hot, but many resorts, like the聽, make it easy with their sprawling pools and grounds.
4. 聽The Food
Being a vacation destination, there are plenty of high-end restaurants in the Valley. 聽In La Quinta, there's聽, which features great steakhouse food, an outdoor patio, putting green, and a trophy case featuring Arnie's best trophies. 聽It's a sight to see for any golf fan.
5. 聽The Events
With the BNP Paribas Open, multiple golf tournaments, the Palm Springs International Film Festival, and聽two weekends of Coachella and one of Stagecoach, there's never a dull moment.
