Where is Palm Springs?
Palm Springs is a beautiful desert city located in Southern California. This resort destination is a part of Riverside County, in fact, it’s the largest city in the county in the Colorado Desert on the edge of the Coachella Valley and the base of the San Jacinto Mountains.
The best thing about Southern California is that you’re never really too far from all the other wonderful tourist destinations, which is why Southern California road trips are popular!
Palm Springs is located close enough to some of California’s most popular cities, which all make for the perfect day trip during your 3 days in Palm Springs or if you’re short on time, it’s even possible to enjoy Palm Springs in a day as its one of the most popular day trips from Los Angeles for those trying to see as much as Southern California as they can in a short time.
Another reason Palm Springs has a great location is that it’s near Joshua Tree National Park. You may want to add a day or two for exploring all the best things to do in Joshua Tree too since the town is full of great things to do along with all the natural beauty and scenery of the National Park. Located just 38 miles away, it only takes just under an hour to drive from Palm Springs to Joshua Tree.
And Palm Springs is one of our favorite stops on the drive from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree!
Just an hour and a half away from Palm Springs in Orange County. Orange County is a gorgeous area full of wonderful options for your day trip. Catch a ball game at Angels Stadium, get a park hopper to Disneyland and California Adventure, visit Knott’s Berry Farm, or check out a concert at the Honda Center. Or hit up the best beaches in the area from Long Beach to San Clemente. You’ll be just under 100 miles away from this beautiful area.
Another one of the major tourist destinations in California in Los Angeles. It will take just under two hours to get there from Palm Springs, but it’s definitely worth the drive if visiting LA is on your California bucket list. One way, the trip is slightly over 100 miles from Palm Springs.
Although it may be further than the only major cities, don’t rule out a day trip to San Diego. The drive there will most likely take just over two hours and it’s about 140 miles one way, but one can hardly resist the beauty and all the amazing things to do in San Diego.
Palm Springs Driving Distance:
Joshua Tree National Park: 38 miles, ~50 minutes
Los Angeles: 107 miles, ~2 hours
San Diego: 139 miles, ~1 hour 40 minutes
Anaheim: 90 miles, ~ 2 hours
Newport Beach: 102 miles, ~2 hours
Big Bear Mountain: 82 miles, ~2 hours
When is the Best Time to Visit Palm Springs?
When planning a weekend in Palm Springs or any Palm Springs trip, visitors should absolutely factor in the weather as those unfamiliar with the desert climate can be surprised at how much the seasons actually do vary depending on the time of year.
The most optimal months to plan a Palm Springs weekend getaway are November through April. During this time the weather tends to stay in the 70s and 80s, which is actually a wonderful temperature for your sunny retreat, plus this is one of the most popular winter vacation spots in the USA.
Planning a trip or a Palm Springs weekend getaway during the winter months could also be a great option if you don’t mind the weather being a bit more on the chilly side, usually around the 60s. Which isn’t really sunbathing and pool weather but you can enjoy other activities comfortably (and keep in mind some pools are heated to be much warmer too so check with your hotel).
The only time of year to be cautious of when planning a weekend in Palm Springs is during the hot summer months. Because Palm Springs is located in a desert, the weather is consistently triple digits beginning in June and lasting throughout September.
You can absolutely still enjoy a vacation in this heat, just make sure you drink lots of water and that you’re never too far from the pool!
How to Spend 3 Days in Palm Springs
Because there are so many amazing things to do in Palm Springs, we’ve created an easy-to-follow itinerary for the perfect 3 days in Palm Springs.
Day 1 of 3 Days in Palm Springs
Breakfast in Downtown Palm Springs
Nothing says vacation more than some delicious eats and each day starting with mimosas. Centrally located to the rest of Day 1’s activities, dine in at one of Palm Spring’s top-rated breakfast spots.
Lulu California Bistro (200 S Palm Canyon Dr) has an extensive menu, which means there is something for everyone in your party! The best part is that they have a 3-course brunch menu on the weekends and their cocktails are very generous in size if you are looking for a boozy breakfast/brunch to kick of your Palm Springs itinerary.
They have an outdoor patio and a spacious interior. If you are doing brunch and want to do a fun dessert at your table, spring for the heaping cotton candy dessert!
Or if you are looking for something more low-key and a quick bite to eat, head to Cafe La Jefa (750 N Palm Canyon Dr), a Latin coffee shop that serves up grab-and-go breakfast items as well as a few great sit-down items fresh from the kitchen like their breakfast sandwiches or my favorite, chorizo con papas bowl.
Drive or Bike a Self-Guided Tour of Mid-Century Modern Homes
Pick your mode of transportation whether it be your car or by renting a bicycle in Downtown Palm Springs to enjoy one of my personal favorite ways to spend a weekend in Palm Springs! By driving around the residential neighborhoods and checking out all the incredible mid-century modern Palm Springs architecture.
Better yet, many of the homes you’ll be driving through were once the residences of some of the most famous celebrities that lived in Palm Springs! To stay closer to Downtown Palm Springs we recommend checking out the Little Tuscany, Movie Colony, Las Palmas, Indian Canyons and Canyon Estates areas.
The best way to do this is just by aimlessly wandering through the neighborhoods where you’ll be greeted with gorgeous modern-designed homes and you’ll likely spot doors in just about every color of the rainbow!
And speaking of celebrity homes, here are a few you can add to your list of things to check out during your weekend in Palm Springs itinerary (and if you plan your trip carefully you can even stay in some of these homes as they are rentals!):

Or Head to the Palm Springs Air Museum
For those who are more history buffs, you may want to customize your 3 days in Palm Springs itinerary to include the Palm Springs Air Museum.
This museum displays an aircraft from World War II and both the Vietnam and Korean wars. The museum is separated into four different hangars and in total, the museum has nearly 60 flyable planes.
Additionally, there are exhibits and activities regarding WWII to help educate guests on the stories behind the people who served in the war and the role of aircraft during this pivotal time in American history.
Guests can even book a ride on one of their five Warbirds. These Warbird flights help the Air Museum keep their tradition of flying their own aircraft in order to honor those who used the same machines in some of history’s greatest conflicts. You can book your reservation to fly in five of the different war aircraft including a P-51 Mustang online.
Visiting the Air Museum is a must-see during your Palm Springs weekend if you’re a history buff or plane enthusiast. And even if you’re not, the museum will absolutely draw you in.
Although visitors can buy tickets online before arrival, the museum prefers that guests purchase tickets when they show up. The museum is open from 10 AM-5 PM daily.
Lunch at The Tropicale Palm Springs
330 E Amado Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92262
This is for the folks who didn’t do a full-on brunch. Perfectly located in Downtown Palm Springs, you won’t want to miss this throwback dining experience at The Tropicale.
This restaurant & lounge has such a sophisticated yet fun and laid-back feel in their dining area that feels like an old-school tropical cocktail lounge and club. There are a variety of sharable small plates, pizzas, salad, and mouthwatering entrees.
Don’t shy away from checking our their Coral Seas Lounge, where you can enjoy one of their specialty cocktails.
The environment is vibrant and unique, The Tropicale is gorgeous day or night and a wonderful spot to snag some Instagram photos. A meal here will set you up perfectly for your next item on the weekend in Palm Springs bucket list!
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
1 Tramway Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92262
During your 3 days in Palm Springs, you will have to fit in some of the best sightseeing this area has to offer, and one of the best ways to do that is witnessing panoramic views from the top of a mountain in Mt. San Jacinto State Park while riding on the world’s largest rotating tram car!
The dream of building the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway was born in 1935 by a young electrical engineer named Francis Crocker. He put up quite an argument to get the project approved, but the beginnings of World War II and The Korean War, among other things continuously halted the construction. We admire Crocker for never letting go of his dream because almost 30 years after the initial idea, in 1963, the Aerial Tramway was open for business and is one of the best things to do in the area!
Located in the mountains of the Chico Canyon, the Tramway takes passengers on a quick and beautiful 10 minute ride, just about 2.5 miles long. Once your tramcar arrives upon the mountainside, passengers can dine in at one of the two restaurant options or just grab a drink and enjoy the excellent views. The restaurants overlook the gorgeous Coachella Valley making for breathtaking views to go along with your meal.
Other than dining, there are a lot of activities to be done here. Visitors can enjoy a day hiking, going on guided nature walks, or even spend a night camping here. During the winter months, there are a whole lot of family fun snow activities as well, which is an interesting contrast to be on a snowy mountaintop in the middle of the desert!
Ultimately, make sure you check out the Tramway during your weekend in Palm Springs! You’ll want to purchase tickets in advance to make sure you score a spot on this iconic Palm Springs attraction.
Dinner at Smoke Tree Ranch
1850 Smoke Tree Ln, Palm Springs, CA 92264
If you’re looking for a scenic and special night on the town, dine in at Smoke Tree Ranch to cheers to a successful day one of your 3 days in Palm Springs.
Smoke Tree Ranch offers a gorgeous indoor/outdoor dining experience right in the heart of their ranch. Some have said that Smoke Tree Ranch gives an old fashion ambiance, it is a very cozy and lovely environment to say the least.
The menu is often being updated, but you can always count on it being above expectations. There is usually a menu set for each night of the week, although their website isn’t always up-to-date on each week’s offerings, you could always call ahead. Regardless, Smoke Tree’s entrees will not disappoint.
I especially love their dress code because it gives guests a reason to wear something other than usual vacation wear. For dinner, guests can expect to follow an elegant resort or casual wear dress code. This means shirts must have a collar for men and jackets are strongly recommended at Friday and Saturday dinners. Keep in mind there are no flip-flops or jeans allowed. Have some fun picking out your Smoke Tree Ranch outfit!
They also recommend keeping those cellphones tucked away, it’s nice to have an unplugged meal anyway!
Day 2 of 3 Days in Palm Springs
Breakfast at Townie Bagels
650 E Sunny Dunes Rd #5, Palm Springs, CA 92264
Just half a mile from your first adventure of the day, we suggest beginning day 2 of 3 days in Palm Springs at Townie! Townie is a highly recommended spot to snag a great bagel or delicious pastry item.
Home to Palm Springs’s only water-boiled bagels, this bagel shop prides itself on using old-school methods. Townie offers over 20 different bagel flavors and a handful of unique spreads, making for a really difficult decision!
Townie will not disappoint and it will fuel you for the eventful weekend in Palm Springs!
Hike Tahquitz Canyon
500 W Mesquite Ave, Palm Springs, CA 92264
During your Palm Springs weekend getaway, a visit to Tahquitz Canyon is just about mandatory! This short desert hike leads you to a hidden waterfall oasis perfect for cooling off at on a hot day!
Tahquitz Canyon is apart of the Cahuilla Indian Reservation and is easily one of the most beautiful sights in all of Palm Springs. While here, visitors can explore their seasonal waterfall, which is about 60 feet long, as well as all of the beautiful nature and wildlife within the canyon.
During your trip to Tahquitz Canyon, don’t forget to check out the visitors center, this is also where you pay for your pass to access the hiking trail. While you’re here you can also see a variety of cultural exhibits, see some artifacts, and there is even an observation deck.
Visitors love checking out the trail to Tahquitz Falls, but make sure you come prepared! The trail is labeled strenuous and it is important that hikers note there are no restrooms or water fountains along the way. This means that hikers should come prepared with lots of water for the nearly two-mile long journey.
The trail itself isn’t difficult other than throughout the trail it is clear that there is little to no shade, so dress accordingly and don’t forget your sunscreen. It’s recommended to avoid this hike in the middle of summer unless you go first thing in the morning. It’s also smart to wear a hat or something to shade your head from the desert heat. It may sound intimidating, but the waterfall at the end of the hike makes it all worthwhile.
There is an admission fee and the canyon is open until 5 PM daily. Note that July through end of September the park only allows hikers Fridays-Sundays. So make sure to confirm the trail is open when you plan your Palm Springs weekend. Also, double-check that there is water flow, there have been a few odd times the waterfall dried up.

It began as Palm Springs Desert Museum and relocated a number of times before landing its forever home in 1958. In the beginning, the museum was not as modernized and contemporary as you may find it today. It used to be focused more on science and artifacts.
