Palm Springs Attractions.

There's plenty to do in Palm Springs
-- balloon rides, water sports, gaming, live theatre, museum, waterparks -- and plenty to see, too. Celebrity-spotting is a way of life at this premiere West Coast destination that attracts famous faces from Hollywood and around the world.

The Walk of Stars on Palm Canyon Drive honors the city's pioneers and the present day celebrities who have contributed to the charm and charisma of this sun-drenched paradise.

Be sure to spend some time in historic downtown Palm Springs where lampposts, comfortable benches, and tile-paved enclaves provide a perfect atmosphere for visiting shops and galleries or stopping for a snack at unique eateries and friendly coffee houses. So come to Palm Springs for a vacation rental experience you'll never forget.

Here is a sample of the Tours that Desert Adventures is proposing:

The SAN ANDREAS FAULT ADVENTURE is an introduction to the San Andreas Fault & the flora, fauna, & natural wonders of the Colorado-Sonoran Desert. Stand on the surface of the San Andreas & learn why California is the earthquake capital of the country; then explore a "desert badlands" landscape. You’ll explore the San Andreas Fault’s unique geologic features, called the most tortured landscape on Earth. Your jeep will be dwarfed, as we wind through an intricate maze of steep walled canyons and ravines, testifying vividly to the power of the SAN ANDREAS FAULT and the geological evolution of millions of years.

The INDIAN CULTURAL ADVENTURE visits an authentic archeological site right on the San Andreas Fault. Tour a replica of a Cahuilla Indian village & learn how these Native Americans thrived in this region for over 2,000 years, living in a close relationship with the land & deriving all their needs from what Mother Nature had to offer. Marvel at the contrast of a lush natural palm oasis & narrow dry-wash canyons carved by wind & water.

The LOST LEGENDS OF THE WILD WEST ADVENTURE explores "Faultline, Californy," a replica of the Wild West mining camps that sprang up in the late 1800s. Learn about mining techniques in a walk-through replica of an old mine. Enjoy the colorful local history and legends of a rowdy by-gone era when settlers came here in search of freedom and fortune.

The MYSTERY CANYON ADVENTURE visits the awe inspiring Mystery Canyons, described by geologists as the most tortured landscape on Earth. Thrust up by tectonic collisions and cut into endless mazes by water, these steep walled canyons and ravines document the passage of time with unerring accuracy.

--Includes hiking geared to your group’s ability, from a casual nature walk to the infamous “hike of death!”

--Includes stop at date ranch

--Due to distance this adventure is 4 hours only and “available from Palm Desert and East only”

The SUNRISE ADVENTURE lets you see the desert at its freshest and coolest part of the day. See the beauty of the desert, a natural palm oasis and steep walled canyons.

The NIGHT WATCH ADVENTURE begins as the sun sets in the West. You'll have the memorable experience of watching the cities light up as twilight and silence envelope the desert, and dramatic rock formations are washed with twilight hues on this surrealistic landscape along the San Andreas Fault. As the twilight deepens, the sparkling stars and peaceful solitude provide a unique magic found only in the desert, with crystal clear skies providing a view of the stars that many of us remember only from childhood. The stars are so brilliant, it's as if an interplanetary jewel thief fell in his escape and littered the sky with diamonds. The moon is so close you can stir its craters with your fingertips. Find Polaris (North Star) in the tail of Ursa Minor (Little Bear), also known as the Little Dipper.
