Nighttime view from the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
While the weather in Palm Springs does get warm and dry in the summertime, there are still plenty of things to do and fun activities that will keep you cool in the desert cities. Here are some great ideas that owners of homes for sale in Palm Desert shared with us.
Absorb some culture. There are some amazing museums that visitors and those who own real estate in Rancho Mirage, Indio and La Quinta consistently rave about. The Palm Springs Air museum offers an amazing, family-friendly experience for viewing one of the country’s largest collections of World War II flying aircraft. In addition, this unique museum offers special programs for children throughout the summer.
You can also get your culture fix is to take a docent tour of the world-class Palm Springs Art Museum, where you can view everything from Classic Western American Art and Studio Art Glass, to Modern and Contemporary American works. Another cool choice is the Aqua Caliente Cultural Museum, which features exhibitions that portray the history and culture of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and other indigenous people.
Get a view from above. A favorite thing to do for visitors, residents and owners of real estate in Rancho Mirage and the surrounding areas is to take a trip on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which is a fun way to cool down while watching the world from above. During the summer, there are options available to buy passes for unlimited rides. Temperatures are usually 20-30 degrees cooler at the top than in the desert valley.
Go on an evening adventure. There are plenty of options for exploring the desert at night, from moonlight hikes and visits inside the hillside windmills, to off-road tours of the San Andreas Fault or a climb among Joshua Tree National Park’s eerie moonscapes.
