Palm Springs
About
Palm Springs is a desert resort town about two hours east of LA, famous for pool hotels, midcentury modern architecture and mild winters. Ride the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway up Mount San Jacinto or browse the design shops on Palm Canyon Drive. Summers are scorching; winter and spring are peak season.
Jasmine says
Pools, palm trees, mid-century architecture,
and an unapologetic laziness.
Palm Springs is for recharging:
ride the tramway for the desert panorama,
and the rest of the time, see you by the pool.
Pools, mid-century architecture and desert decompression.
