Palm Springs
A desert oasis with a glamorous past, Palm Springs has been attracting Hollywood glitterati for decades. In its heyday, this California hotspot was a playground for the stars, touting glitzy resorts and leisurely pursuits like golf, swimming, and tennis. Today, you no longer have to be rich and famous to enjoy its abundant greens and posh resorts, which has made the Springs more accessible to everyone. There’s more than just swanky pastimes here, though, and nature buffs can easily spend their time enjoying desert vistas, canyon tours, and hikes. As expected, however, this desert outpost tends to heat up in summer months, so a Memorial Day getaway reigns supreme, as it’s one of your last chances to enjoy Palm Springs' lush offerings with equally lush weather.
