Palm Canyon Drive

Palm Canyon Drive is the main street of Palm Springs and the pulse of this desert resort city. It has everything a tourist needs - shops, attractions, galleries, restaurants and more. Dotted by tall palm trees throughout with the San Jacinto Mountain as a backdrop, it is where most of the action lies. Shop at unique stores and the farmer's market to take away something as a gift or souvenir. Check out the Villagefest held every Thursday. Some of the interesting places to visit are the Palm Canyon Theatre, Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs Visitors Center, Desert Art Center, Annenberg Theater, The McCallum Adobe and Palm Springs Walk of Stars.

Downtown Palm Springs

As palm trees sway above the sidewalks and hundreds of lights start glowing at night, it is easy to get lost in the dreamy atmosphere of Downtown Palm Springs. Visitors can try their luck at the tables then soak in mineral water baths at the Spa Resort Casino or get the full spa treatment at one of the many hotels on Palm Canyon Drive. Additionally, the street has many restaurants, from sushi and seafood to tex-mex and regional, there is one for every budget and palate.

Indian Canyons

Spread alongside the zigzagging South Palm Canyon Drive, the Indian Canyons have been the ancestral homes of the Cahuilla Indians' Agua Caliente Band for nearly a millennium. Revered by local Native Americans, these beautiful canyons are treasured by scientists and paleontologists for their vivid rock artwork and petroglyphs that offer insights into tribal life. A much-needed getaway from the sometimes glitzy atmosphere of Palm Springs, the sparkling streams, and the untamed arid wilderness allows its visitors to be one with nature. A phenomenon named the 'Witch of Tahquitz Canyon' can be occasionally spotted here which is essentially an eerie shadow cast on the slopes of the canyon.
