Things To Do
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
Climb 8,000 feet from the desert to the San Jacinto Mountains, in less than 15 minutes, by tram.
Joshua Tree National Park
Just an hour drive from Palm Springs! Two distinct desert ecosystems, the Mojave and the Colorado, come together in Joshua Tree National Park. A fascinating variety of plants and animals make their homes in a land sculpted by strong winds and occasional torrents of rain. Dark night skies, a rich cultural history, and surreal geologic features add to the wonder of this vast wilderness in southern California. Come explore for yourself.
La Quinta Resort & Club- GOLF
Home to five superb public plays, the “Western Home of Golf in America” presents options for all levels of players and pleasure-seekers. The Pete Dye–drawn Mountain Course is ideal for guests pursuing desert awe, while the Greg Norman Course provides some of the area’s sweetest solitude. Low-handicappers aiming to test their games should tee sheet either the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course or Dye’s nuanced TPC Stadium Course, revered among the toughest tracks in the country.
Indian Wells Golf Resort
Both the John Fought–designed Players Course and Clive Clark–crafted Celebrity Course prove can’t-miss plays. With bountiful stimuli extending from clubhouse to course, ensure a steady lid when taking on the taut bunkering and required distance presented by the more demanding Players.
The Shops on El Paseo
In the heart of Palm Desert, the valley’s premier shopping avenue beckons. Dramatic mountain views, stately palm trees, and a kiss of sunshine set the mood for attainable luxury. Known the world over for signature showrooms, designer labels, and chic boutiques, El Paseo satisfies the urge to splurge: Art galleries for serious collectors and gourmet cuisine by the Coachella Valley’s top chefs lend texture to the fabric of this sophisticated thoroughfare. Here, friends and families stroll the mile-long strip dotted with comfortable seating areas, casual cafés, popular happy hours, and beauty services that pamper and refresh. Vibrant events ensure El Paseo is buzzing year-round.
