Palm Springs Oasis

Dates: TBD

A cable car, labeled 'Palm Springs,' is suspended in the air over a mountainous landscape with trees and rocky slopes under a clear blue sky.

A warm-weather escape with big views, easy pool days and a laid-back desert vibe.

Mountain air, retro charm, and a good mix of lively spots and quiet ones.

View from inside a glass-enclosed cable car or gondola with metal railings, showing rocky mountains and a valley landscape below, under a clear blue sky.

We'll ride the world's largest rotating tramcar up the cliffs of Chino Canyon, and the views the whole way up are incredible.

It's fully wheelchair accessible, and once we're at the top, it's about 30 degrees cooler than the desert floor, a nice break from the heat. There's a natural history museum, restaurants and observation decks, so we can take our time.

And if heights aren't someone's thing, we'll have something else planned for that time.

✦ The Aerial Tramway
Colorful hotel with a swimming pool surrounded by orange lounge chairs and yellow umbrellas, tall palm trees, and mountains in the background.

We'll build in real downtime by the pool, because sometimes the best part of the trip is just floating around and relaxing.

No agenda, no rush, just sun and water at our own pace.

✦ Pool Days
Night view of the Palm Springs Art Museum entrance with glass windows, palm trees, and a clear dark sky.

For a quieter afternoon, we can spend some time at the art museum downtown.

It's a nice change of pace from the desert heat and the busier spots, and there's always something interesting to look at.

✦ Palm Springs Art Museum
An art gallery with white walls and wooden floors, featuring contemporary paintings and installations. Several visitors are viewing the artwork, with some standing and others sitting on the floor.

A residential house with large glass windows and a corrugated metal roof, situated on a hillside with a swimming pool in the foreground, desert landscape, and cityscape in the distance under a partly cloudy sky.
✦ Downtown & Retro Charm

Palm Springs has this cool mid-century modern feel all over downtown, so we'll walk around, check out some shops and grab a bite somewhere fun.

We like Farm for dinner, a relaxed garden patio with farm-to-table food, and Café La Jefa for coffee, a quiet spot with mountain views to start the morning. Easy, walkable and a good way to soak in the local vibe.

Night view of the entrance to a farm-themed establishment with an archway, decorative plants, and the word 'FARM' with a rooster on top of a white wall.
Outdoor patio seating area with pink wire chairs and white tables, umbrellas, string lights, plants, modern building with glass windows in the background.
