Local tips to elevate your Palm Springs stay
Gina Rosenthal
The roar of a jet engine and fast ascent upward excite me as I know once I land adventure begins. While exploring Italy, France, Spain, England, Mexico and much of the US, I seek out the unique; I want to do it all! My travels convey that many gems found across the globe are nestled right here within the mountains of the Coachella Valley.
Attending Palm Springs Modernism weekend in its inception sparked my interest in this visually alluring place. The soothing spirit of Native Tribes is juxtaposed with the swankiness of Old Hollywood glam. Calm, culture, cuisine, creativity, and curiosity led me to move from San Diego and make Coachella Valley my home in 2005. I immediately fell in love with the landscape, architecture and quiet. I was down for serenity, activity and community.
Working as graphic designer for a local lifestyle publication introduced me to all of our local happenings and attractions. Palm Springs and the surrounding area have a myriad of culture, plays, live music, film festivals, golf courses, pickle ball and tennis courts, Rat Pack era haunts, trendy bars and restaurants. Embrace wellness here by soaking in hot mineral springs, indulging in a spa treatment or partaking in a sound bath. Whether vintage wear is your vibe or distinctive designer fashion speaks to you, all is had here! Photo ops abound… outdoor public art, waterfalls, Mid-Century and celebrity homes, sculptural cacti and succulents, Bighorn sheep, snowcapped mountains, and those speedy roadrunners.
