One day itinerary in Palm Springs
When visiting Palm Springs, be sure to check out the Cahuilla cultural museum, which pays tribute to the native Cahuilla people who have been living in the area for hundreds of years. There's also a new cultural plaza being built at the corner of Indian Canyon Drive and E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, which is intended to be the center of cultural tourism for many years to come.
Idyllwild
If you're in the mood for some history, Idyllwild, California, is the place for you. Located in the San Bernardino National Forest, Idyllwild is about a two-hour drive from Los Angeles. It's a great day trip for those who don't have a lot of time to spend sightseeing in the city.
Idyllwild is also known for being a haven for artists. There are classes in modern dance and basket weaving, as well as art exhibits and free concerts. The Idyllwild Arts Alliance also sponsors events and exhibits in the town. The town also features a Living Free Animal Sanctuary, which cares for rescued animals.
Indian Canyons
The Agua Caliente Band, along with the city government, operates the Indian Canyons and Agua Caliente Cultural Museum. The area has lots to offer in the way of outdoor activities, art galleries, vintage stores, and more. The town itself is small enough to be walked around without a car, and it is dog-friendly as well.
There are several hiking trails in the Indian Canyons, including Palm Canyon. The trail is 15 miles long, though most hikers prefer to take short sections. The trail passes through areas with indigenous flora and fauna. Cahuilla people lived in the region and were a part of this natural habitat. Andreas Canyon is another popular hiking area. This canyon contains 150 species of plants in 0.5 miles.
Stagecoach Music Festival
The Stagecoach Music Festival is one of the world's premier country music festivals. The Indio Polo Grounds, just south of Palm Springs, is the site of the event, which was founded in 1985. Its first performers included George Strait, Willie Nelson, and Emmylou Harris. Over the years, it has evolved into the biggest country music festival in the world. This year, headliners include Garth Brooks, who will be joined by his wife, Trisha Yearwood.
Along with the music, the Stagecoach Festival also includes a wide variety of activities and food vendors. Many festivalgoers enjoy discovering Greater Palm Springs, from horseback riding through canyons to dining in legendary saloons. During the festival, you can also attend events held by celebrity chefs, take honky-tonk dancing lessons, visit local clothing markets, and take a ride in the nearby amusement park.
