#1 HIKE TO BEAUTIFUL VISTAS

Where do you go for visual inspiration in your destination?

HIKING TRAILS

In Palm Springs, there are several hiking trails with incredible vistas that I enjoy and bring me inspiration. The incredible mountain skyline makes for magical sunrises and sunsets.

#2 EXPERIENCE THE COCKTAIL CULTURE

Who is the coolest character to meet in your destination?

OUR LOCAL BARTENDERS

Cocktail culture is strong in Greater Palm Springs and there is no shortage of hip, passionate and friendly bartenders ready to share stories, best kept secrets and fun new cocktails. Whether you're looking for old school Hollywood hangouts that were a favorite of regulars like Frank Sinatra, a local roadhouse or dive bar, or the trendiest hot spot, Greater Palm Springs has them all.

The cool local bartenders - old and young, seasoned and novice - make the Greater Palm Springs cocktail scene the unique attraction that it is.

"Greater Palm Springs is an oasis where anyone can find respite and relaxation, whatever that means to you. It's a place where you can live, or vacation, at your own pace - be as active or relaxed as you want, and meet fun new people or just enjoy time alone." Davis Meyer, Greater Palm Springs CVB

#3 GREAT FOOD & GREAT VIEWS

Where would you take a know-it-all local, to show them a new side of your destination?

Brunch at Shields Date Garden

Everyone knows about them for date shakes and their Date History Museum, but many are surprised by how incredible the food is. The menu is rich with flavor and heart with traditional family recipes. The patio is lovely with gorgeous views of the date trees and mountains beyond.
