Our favorite thing to do in the desert is relax by the pool. But here are our (second) favorite things to do in the Greater Palm Springs Area.
Tahquitz Canyon Loop Trail
500 W Mesquite Ave., Palm Springs, CA 92264
This is one of our favorite hikes with a waterfall at the end!
Indian Canyons
38520 S Palm Canyon Dr., Palm Springs, CA 92264
There are a bunch of hiking trails in Indian Canyons as well! Check out the short Andreas Canyon Loop to see wildflowers in bloom.
Joshua Tree National Park
CA
For the even more ambitious hikers or bikers, Joshua Tree National Park is about 30 minutes to an hour away, depending on where you go. (If you're going hiking/biking, we don't recommend wearing wedding attire, but this is the only photo of us there that we have!)
Moorten Botanical Garden
1701 South Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92264, (760) 327-6555
This is a fun place to stop by if you're into cactuses!
Downtown Palm Springs
Palm Springs, CA
Downtown Palm Springs is a fun area to walk around, shop, and eat! Palm Canyon Dr between E Alejo Road and W Barista Road is the most popular area.
Cheeky's
622 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262, (760) 327-7595
This is one of our favorite brunch places in Downtown Palm Springs. The bacon flight is a must-order.
