Palm Springs is such a unique city with so much to explore. From beautiful mid-century modern homes and architecture to hiking desert and mountain trails, there truly is something for everyone to enjoy. Get ready for a lot of fun, bold colors and cacti galore when you travel to the desert oasis that is Palm Springs, California!

This guide is for anyone who really wants to explore Palm Springs and the cool spots throughout the desert nearby. Whether you're there for a weekend or as long as a week, there's a lot see and do.
