Another haven for rest and relaxation is Palm Springs. Visit the Palm Springs Desert Museum and you'll find Western art and Native American artifacts. Get a splendid view of the valley on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, a 14-minute ride up 10,800-foot Mt. San Jacinto to the pines and cool mountain air.

More Golf Courses than one can count.

Best to avoid the heated Summer Months unless you like dry heat over 100 Degrees F (38 C)
