Palm Desert

Palm Desert sits in the Coachella Valley about two hours east of Los Angeles, and the articles here are written for the snowbird season more than the summer. Posts cover the El Paseo shopping street, the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, the difference between Palm Desert and neighbouring Palm Springs, and the long-running McCallum Theatre season. There are also practical notes on the heat in July and August, how desert hotel rates collapse in midsummer, and the El Paseo art walk on the first Friday of the month from October through May.
