A beautiful desert oasis steeped in history, Palm Springs is located at the base of Mt. San Jacinto, about two hours from Los Angeles. Palm Springs originated as a spa resort for Hollywood celebrities and other adventurers looking for an LA get-away. In the mid 1900's, Palm Springs emerged at the forefront of the modernist architecture movement. Today, the town still delights with excitement and charm.
Palm Springs offers varied activities--golfing, hiking, horseback riding, gourmet dining, shopping, gambling, sight-seeing, tram riding--that appeal to all ages and interests.
