About Palm Springs
Palm Springs, in California's Coachella Valley, is a desert resort of mid-century modern design, palm-lined streets and the San Jacinto Mountains.
Palm Springs lies in the Colorado Desert of southern California, at the foot of the steep San Jacinto Mountains, a resort that drew film stars and golfers from the 1930s. Mid-century modern houses and motels by architects such as Richard Neutra and Albert Frey give the town its look, and Palm Canyon Drive is lined with shops, galleries and cafés. The Palm Springs Art Museum shows modern and Western art.
Top-ranked sights in Palm Springs: Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, Mt. San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness.
