Palm Springs is one of several cities located in the Californian desert in the Coachella Valley east of Los Angeles. The city is known for its mild and warm climate, many activities and proximity to several beautiful places in nature.
Palm Springs became particularly well-known in the first half of the 20th century, when the city developed into a popular holiday destination. Mount San Jacinto to the west of the city ensured and still ensures visitors comfortable temperatures even in winter, which can be chilly on the Pacific Ocean. More and more hotels were built, and luxury attracted movie stars and other celebrities.
Since then, the city’s airport has been expanded, and in Palm Springs and neighboring cities in the Coachella Valley, golf courses and other recreational activities have been built. You can also look at classy architecture in the city, which is particularly known for the so-called desert modern, which characterizes the style from the 1950s and 1960s, which is seen in many places in Palm Springs.
An example of desert modern is the city’s visitor center, the Palm Springs Visitor Center at 2901 North Palm Canyon Drive, which was built as the Tramway Gas Station in 1965. You can also drive through central Palm Springs and see buildings in the style with their characteristic roof constructions and windows that provide shade and keep the hot sun from heating up the houses too much.
Locals and visitors also benefit from the proximity to the mountains and the surrounding natural areas. You can visit Joshua Tree National Park to the north, and to the west is Mount San Jacinto. You can easily get to the top of the 3,302-meter-high mountain by taking the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which takes guests up to 2,596 meters in just over 12 minutes.
The cable car rotates on the way up, so everyone gets nice panoramic views towards the top station. From the top you can in clear weather see hundreds of kilometers away to the mountains north of Las Vegas in Nevada, and of course there is an unforgettable view of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. To the south you can see the Salton Sea, which is 72 meters below sea level.
Los Angeles is the place where the American dream is being lived. The beautiful location with warm climate and the Pacific Ocean helps to further sweeten the joyous life that prevails in the now very large American city.
When you say Los Angeles, you have to say Hollywood and all the movie productions going on here. It is the city of dreams, and everything is possible in Los Angeles, which as a tourist you get the feel of in the city’s exclusive neighborhoods like Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
San Diego is a city in the southernmost part of California close to the Mexican border, and it is the city of relaxation with loads of attractions, a mild climate, kilometers of avenues with palm trees, sandy beaches and great sights for tourists. Alongside the large tourism industry, there is also a naval base and several information technology companies in the city.
San Diego’s historic sites are partly the Spanish Mission San Diego de Alcala (10818 San Diego Mission Road) and partly the old Spanish and European founded Old Town. The mission church was built by the Spanish as the first in California in 1769, and you can explore the history of the place in the visitor center.
Lake Havasu City is a relatively new city, having been established as a recreational military camp during World War II. At the time, the place was called Site Six, and it was located right by Lake Havasu, which was artificially created with the construction of the Parker Dam in the mid-1930s. The lake forms part of the course of the Colorado River, and it is located on the border of Arizona and California.
In 1958, businessman Robert McCulloch purchased 13 square kilometers of land in the area, and he supplemented the purchase with another 53 square kilometers before Lake Havasu City was incorporated on September 30, 1963. It received formal city status in 1978, and since then the city has become one of the most visited in Arizona.
