How could I not mention Palm Springs in my travel blog. It's so clean and pretty. There's a replica of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in downtown Palm Springs. The mountains are close enough to touch. There's an outdoor dining area in just about every restaurant in the downtown area .It's a great place to visit. My recommendation for the time of year would be right around March or April if you can. While the snow capped mountain views are a sight, it's also quite cold. That's fine if you like the cold weather. If you're like me, however, you want to travel in milder temperatures. I visited once for my birthday in January. Let's just say I froze my toes off! I was there a couple of weeks into February and it rained buckets!
Being a desert, it's cold in the winter and hot, hot, hot in the summer (as I've heard). My most pleasant visit was in the spring. There are many luxurious hotels, lots of great restaurants, and lots of history. You can feel classic Hollywood in the atmosphere. I love classic movies, which makes Palm Springs an interesting place for me. If you need a quiet getaway from L.A., I am sure you will find it in Palm Springs.
