I love working as a Palm Springs travel agent specialist. Palm Springs is one of those places where you can find peace and luxury. It’s a one-of-kind travel destination that invites you to see a more tranquil way of life. If you’re seeking to visit sunny California, then I recommend Palm Springs. This city, located in the Sonoran Desert of southern California, is recognized for its hot springs, fashionable hotels, spas, and golf.  You’ll also find several fine examples of mid century-modern architecture. If you love to shop, you’ll want to visit the vintage boutiques along Palm Canyon Drive as well as the inviting restaurants. You can also horseback ride, cycle, and hike in the beautiful and natural surroundings of the nearby Coachella Valley. So, if you’re seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Palm Springs is the perfect place to unwind and explore some amazing travel attractions.  From hiking across the stunning desert landscape to soaking up the sun by the pool, there's something for everyone in this desert oasis. One of the most popular attractions in Palm Springs is the Aerial Tramway, which takes you up 8,500 feet or 2.5 miles to the top of San Jacinto Peak. Once you reach the top, you can partake in some incredible desert views. You’ll also find it’s about 30 degrees cooler at the top - perfect when the desert temperature climbs into the three-digits on the Fahrenheit scale. If you're looking for a challenge, there are plenty of hiking trails to explore in the area. Or, if you're just looking to relax, you can spend a day lounging by one of the many pools. If you're looking for a more laid-back experience, Palm Springs is home to some of the best golf courses in the country. Golfers of all skill levels enjoy the courses, all set against the backdrop of the stunning desert landscape. Needless to say, the warm desert temperatures make lounging by the pool or swimming both attractive and practical. When the summer temperatures flirt with the desert climate, or reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit, you will find a dive into the pool both exhilarating and cooling. You can get day passes to use the facilities at some of the lodgings as well, such as the Saguaro or Hard Rock Hotel. Free access, of course, is available to hotel guests.  With a day pass, you can take advantage of the pool, the sauna, and shower. The Palm Springs Swim Center also invites adult non-residents and children four to 12 years old to swim and cool off throughout the year. I also must mention The Living Desert, a garden and zoo that supports desert conservation. You’ll see free-roaming giraffes and ostriches in scenic habitats. It’s also a great place to see lizards racing over the grounds.  In addition, you’ll see interesting desert animals, such as snakes, foxes, hedgehogs, camels, and cheetahs. Cute goats are featured at the site’s petting zoo as well. You can tour the site by shuttle or take a self-guided tour.  Restaurants on the property will keep you from getting famished and you can load up on souvenirs at the site’s gift shop. What makes Palm Springs really interesting is its historic connection with Hollywood. During the early days of Hollywood, film stars signed contracts with studios that required them to be within two and one-half hours of LA, thereby making Palm Springs the ideal getaway.  Besides being an escape for the rich and famous, Palm Springs also is home to the Palm Springs Air Museum. The museum showcases 59 planes that date back to the Second World War and beyond. As your Palm Springs travel agent advisor, I encourage you to arrange a Palm Springs holiday. You can go to the California city anytime of the year, so why not start planning your desert vacation now? Call me today so we can outline your travel itinerary.
