Known as the Playground of the Stars, Palm Springs is a celebrated California desert resort city, 110 miles east of Los Angeles and 140 miles northeast of San Diego.
Protected by the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north, the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south, and the San Jacinto Mountains to the west, Palm Springs is renowned for its warm, dry climate.
With 354 days of sunshine, less than 6 inches of rain annually, and winter temperatures that average in the 70s (with nights in the low-to-mid 40s), is it any wonder that Palm Springs is an outdoor lover’s paradise?
And yes, swimming, sunbathing, golfing, and playing tennis are still the primary pastimes in Palm Springs. It is not unusual to do any of the above outdoor activities in 80-degree weather mid-winter, all while gazing at the snow-covered peaks of the San Jacintos.
