May 20, 20232 yr Beautiful photos. My parents have a Condo in Palm Desert so I am out there pretty frequently. In fact I'm going in a few weeks. The Living Desert Zoo is an amazing zoo, and the hiking trail up Mt. Eisenhower inside the zoo is a must do if you ever go back. I've hiked halfway up Mt San Juacinto and it is a brutal hike especially as the sun starts to come out, even in the winter months. I have yet to use the Aerial Tram but those pictures look cool. Joshua Tree is one of my favorite places, especially hidden valley, it's just such a unique place.

My united flight home is brutal. It's a half day of travelling for no reason. But glad to hear that you plan to go back out again at some point. But ya, I'm going for my buddies bachelor party, and staying at the condo. We are all over thirty and some of us have kids so our plan is hike in the AM and beat the heat, and then sit at the pool for the rest of the day 😂. Maybe go to Palm Springs one day. I'm a big tennis fan so I want to go back out in March for the Indian Wells Masters tournament which is a pretty big tournament.

May 20, 20232 yr Nice photos - we were out there a few years ago for my husband's 50th birthday, stayed with friends who have a house a few blocks from the Liberace house. The art museum is definitely worth a visit as is The Parker - hotel with interior design by Jonathan Adler. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

May 20, 20232 yr Great photos of the desert. I've been here for many years and love it, although the summer can be fierce. Glad that you enjoyed it. Anza Borrego is worth the effort and long drive, as is Idylwild up in the mountains. Looks like you saw quite a bit. Edited May 20, 20232 yr by Desertmax
