A brochure showing that Palm Springs is actually eight cities, with a brief description of each.

1. Palm Springs, California

2. Visitors to our beautiful desert often tell us how much they
enjoy spending the evening in our warm and inviting climate.
As night falls, the sky turns a distinctive shade of purple,
leading to star-filled and romantic evening. Most agree that
this nightly show is one of the desert’s major draws, a part of
life here that many of us take for granted and appreciate
only when someone from another area reminds us of its
unique beauty.
Many visitors refer to the whole valley as Palm Springs, but it’s
a single city. The appealing town launched desert tourism
around the turn of the century, and exudes history. Home to a
world-famous collection of mid-century modern architecture.
The sparkling cities of Palm Springs Desert Resorts create
an Eden for vacation, providing a perfect climate, glorious
scenery, and exciting activities to enjoy. Take a look at the
unique aspects of the stellar cities that make the valley
extraordinary.

The center of the valley is a retail
mecca, with shopping centers
all along Highway 111. A block
south is El Paseo, where art
galleries, upscale boutiques,
and numerous restaurants line
the boulevard. Palm Desert is
known for promoting public
art; in particular, check out
Civic Center Park and the El
Paseo median. The city also is
home to McCallum Theatre, The
Living Desert, and campuses
for a community college and
universities.

8. Indian Wells
Tennis lovers know this city for hosting
the Pacific Life Open Tennis Masters
Series at Indian Wells Tennis Garden,
but golfers and spa lovers also will find
much to enjoy in this city with a median
household income exceeding $130,000.
The Golf Resort at Indian Wells features
the Callaway Performance Center (one
of four in the world), and world-class
resorts include luxury spas with a vast
array of body-and-mind treatments.

9. La Quinta, named “America’s Ultimate Golfing Destination”
La Quinta
Named “America’s Ultimate
Golfing Destination” by
the Robb Report, this city
recently opened the first
of two public courses at
SilverRock Ranch. This one
was designed by Arnold
Palmer. But there’s more to
the city than golf.
Hiking trails above the valley
floor offer breathtaking views,
and there are plenty of shopping
and dining options — including
those in the village atmosphere
of Old Town La Quinta.

10. Indio
Diversion is the theme in Indio. Agriculture
is as at-home here as glitzy casino gaming
and blue-blooded polo ponies. Majestic
date groves (Indio is the largest producer
of dates in the western world) mingle
with retail merchants and family-friendly
neighborhoods. And golf courses abound.
Landmark Golf Club, with dramatic desert
terrain and an open-to-the-public policy, is
home to one of the sport’s most prestigious
events: the legendary Skins Game. In Indio,
cultural influences are to be savored.
Experience the Southwest Arts Festival,
discover the “flavor” of the city at the annual
Tamale Festival, or tour the midway and ride
the amusements at the National Date Festal
and Riverside County Fair.
