Palm Springs may be the poster for snowbirds and winter escape artists, but relaxing by the pool and playing golf aren’t the only outdoor activities worth trying here. The desert brims with unforgettable excursions!

Explore palm tree oases by foot, surmount boulders, ride your horse along the Indian Canyon Trails, carve the paths cut around the valley on a mountain bike, or revel in adrenaline on an ATV. The lush green of palm trees set against a dusty desert backdrop makes Palm Springs worth exploring. And the mountains that loom over the valley of Palm Springs add a rustic, intrepid feel to the area’s overall chilled-out vibe.

Some of the best locations for outdoor explorations are Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the trails along the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians reservation, and the Coachella Valley Preserve. And, to state the obvious, you can play golf at one of the many courses dotting the area.
