Things To Do
Uptown Design District
One of our favorite Palm Springs pastimes is to bop around the shops, galleries, and eateries of the Uptown Design District. A half-mile stretch of North Palm Canyon Drive, running from Alejo Road to Tachevah Drive, you'll find the perfect souvenir to remember your time in Palm Springs.
Modern & More Bike Tours - "I Do. We Do." Private Tour
Brennan does a FANTASTIC 2-hour bike tour of three architecturally and historically significant residential neighborhoods in South Palm Springs. Bus tours have difficulty accessing these areas, because streets are somewhat narrow and it's hard for them to turn corners -- which makes it perfect for biking! Quiet streets, no hills, constant sunshine, and very little traffic make for a great ride for novices or expert cyclists alike. Brennan has arranged for a specially-priced tour for our guests — $55 on Friday, October 8 at 9 a.m. (does not include bike rental, which is usually about $24) This is a not-to-be missed tour.
Palm Springs Driving Tour
The LA Times profiled a quick driving tour of Palm Springs to help you get out safely and about during a pandemic. Canyon View Estates, our neighborhood, is listed in the article. In fact, the Jag in the driveway is our friend Pat's, and the green door belongs to our friends Gary and Kathy. You might want to check out these fun Palm Springs sights!
