Palm Springs is a famed Southern California, desert resort city,
approximately 110 miles east of Los Angeles. Palm Springs possesses
some of the most famous golf courses in the country.
Swimming, tennis, horseback riding, and hiking in the nearby desert
and mountain areas are other major forms of recreation in Palm Springs.
Once known as the "Playground of the Stars," Palm Springs is a small
city with the legacy, amenities, and history of a large, cosmopolitan
city.
Palm Springs lies at the foot of one of Southern California's most
majestic mountain peaks, 10,834-foot-tall Mount San Jacinto, whose
eastern flank abuts downtown. It is not unusual to swim in 80-degree
weather while looking up at snow-covered peaks. |
