Palm Springs is a sun-soaked desert resort city with iconic mid-century-modern architecture, lively restaurants and spas, abundant hiking, biking and golf, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway — great for multi-week stays when you want downtime and plenty to explore after shifts.
Nearby Palm Desert and Indio are short drives for more dining, shopping, healthcare options and big events like Coachella, while Joshua Tree and the San Jacinto foothills offer quick weekend outdoor escapes.
