Things to Do in Palm Springs

Palm Spring's desert climate makes it dry year round so there's no need to worry about getting rained out. For golfers, that means you will have sunny courses every day. Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort was voted one of the top courses by "Golf Digest" and Indian Canyons Golf Resort is another great spot if you want to play multiple days on a different course. For hikers, no rain means packing a water bottle to hike through the trails in the San Jacinto Mountains or through Palm Canyon. The views are spectacular. Or skip the hike and go on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to see the desert from the air. El Paseo has upscale dining and shopping and is a great way to end a day of swimming, golfing, and lounging.

Palm Springs Accommodations

The best Palm Springs vacation rentals are the ones that give you a place to kick back. Whether for you, that means a place to put down your hiking boots, golf clubs, or martini, you can find what you need. Whole houses located in resort complexes are available to accommodate the whole family. Or book a house in the suburbs. Since most of the residents are retirees in Palm Springs, many of them are not in their houses year round or rent out their Palm Springs second homes to visitors. Just make sure it has air conditioning!
