Palm Springs - Nearby Destinations
Tourist destinations to consider near Palm Springs are listed below. Click on any name for complete information.
|
|
Joshua Tree National Park
|
|
|
| |
Joshua Tree National Park protects two unique desert climates in south
central California, as well as palm oases, exotic rock formations, and
the rare Joshua Tree. |
| |
|
|
|
Los Angeles
|
Population: 16 million (metro area)
|
|
| |
Los Angeles is the second largest metropolitan area in the country.
Contrasts abound: Hollywood legends and clueless tourists; the glamour
of Beverly Hills and unglamorous rush hour traffic; Valley Girls and
CalTech doctorate students; all compete for a piece of L.A.’s complex
identity. |

|
|
Mojave Desert
|
|
|
| |
Rose-colored sand dunes, volcanic cinder cones, Joshua tree forests,
and mile-high mountains are found along the scenic roadways in the
Mojave Desert. Mule deer and bighorn sheep roam among pinyon pine and
juniper in the many mountain ranges here, and a network of dirt roads
provide year round opportunities to explore by four-wheel drive vehicle. |

|
Riverside
|
Population: 291,398
|
|
| |
When you hear the word “Riverside,” you may think of sedate blue water
moving through a green landscape, a landscape green with high grass
and trees with healthy, leafy canopies. You may think of a city more
park than city. And your impression might not quite fit Riverside
itself. Riverside is, after all, a major city in California, the
largest city in the Inland Empire with a population of over 300,000.
But although Riverside struggles with big city problems like smog,
urban sprawl and traffic, it still fits its nickname: the city of trees. |

|
|
San Bernardino
|
Population: 200,000
|
|
| |
San Bernardino marks the eastern end of the Inland Empire, the 50 mile
corridor of urban area between here and Los Angeles. The city has a
diverse and largely working class community. Several annual events,
including the Route 66 Rendezvous classic car festival, attract
visitors from around the country. |

|
|
|
San Diego
|
Population: 1.2 million
|
|
| |
San Diego is one of the most pleasant big cities in the nation.
Year-round warm weather, 70 miles of beaches, and a low crime rate all
contribute to the character of this coastal city. The sweeping blue
Coronado Bridge is the landmark of San Diego’s skyline, which curves
along the edge of San Diego Bay. Once known mainly for being the
center of U.S. naval operations in the Pacific, San Diego has grown
into a major center for culture and recreation in California’s southwest. |
