If you’ve run out of things to do this summer, there are still plenty of ways to keep boredom at bay—at least, if you live in the desert cities. If you’re in town to check out Indio real estate or an international investor looking at buying luxury international real estate in Palm Springs, you have an array of activities at your fingertips that will keep you occupied and excited about your potential move to the desert cities. Below are three fun things to do in your spare time this summer.
Take a Tour. There are so many cool tours to take—even if you’re already a resident, it’s always fun to explore what Palm Springs has to offer. If you’ve been considering buying Indio real estate, you’ll be excited to discover that Indio is the “Date Capitol” of the world. Not as in going out to find a significant other, but as in the delicious, nutrient-rich fruit. There is also a remarkable concentration of Mid-Century Modern Architecture that is definitely worth seeing, as well as tourist attractions including Elvis’s Honeymoon Hideaway and the Marilyn Monroe Statue, among many other exciting sights.
Cool off in the mountains. The desert cities boast the world’s largest rotating tram—the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Ascend thousands of feet during a 10 minute journey that takes you past the sheer cliffs of Chino Canyon to the top of San Jacinto Mountain, where you’ll be immersed in a chilly new climate zone, even when temperatures spike in the valley. Take a hike or guided nature walk, or have lunch or dinner at the Pines Café or Peaks Restaurant, which both offer breathtaking views.
Hit the Boulevard. El Paseo Boulevard is known as the “Rodeo Drive of the Desert.” In addition to finding some serious shopping opportunities among the chic designer boutiques, you can stroll along the beautifully manicured street, relax at the sidewalk cafes and people watch for hours on end.
