Chillin' in Palm Springs

Beautiful area with lots to do - on weekends, there is a large art show at the local JC. Palm Springs has many events during the evenings with the main streets closed off. The nearby Joshua Tree National Park is worth a drive - take your hiking boots; there are lots of 1- to 5-mile day hikes. Palm dates are grown locally - check out the local date farms and learn about the "sex life of a date," and you must have a date milkshake - yummy!!! If the local American Indian tribe is having a powwow, it's a fun evening to attend. Local wind farm offers tours to learn about wind generation - very interesting, but a little pricey. Don't bother going to the Salton Sea - not worth the long drive.

Quick Tips:

A car is a must. Take the highway north of town - much faster than the southern one, which hits every stoplight.

Best Way To Get Around:

This is a driving community. They also have a great bike path system throughout the city that passes golf courses and spillways, but it's hard to get information on it, so just find the path and ride!

Best Things Nearby:
Everything! This is the heart of the Palm Springs area! High-end outlet shopping just a few miles to the west.

Best Things About the Resort:
Clean, comfortable, recently remodeled, nice pool and spa area, associated with a neighbor resort for golfing.

Resort Experience:
The LWDO is a beautiful resort - very clean, tropical feel, some units back onto golf course, others have pool or street view - all are nice. There is a community room with lots of activities for kids, pool parties, and member events going on - highly recommended.
