The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
One of the most thrilling and unique activities in
Southern California. The large cable-car gondola
elevates from the desert floor to the top of Mt. San
Jacinto, rising over 8,516 feet in just 15 minutes! Dine
at the peak of San Jacinto which affords breathtaking
views of the valley. The mountain station at the top
has a restaurant, cocktail lounge, gift shop, picnic
area and movie theater.
Old Town La Quinta
Old Town La Quinta offers diverse shopping and dining in
a charming setting just minutes from La Quinta Resort. Stylish
apparel, fashionable home accessories, art galleries and
fine jewelry are some of the dozens of retailers.
Jeep Tours
The beauty of the California desert landscape is often missed
by the casual observer. One way to fully discover this natural
wonder is on a guided Jeep Tour. By exploring the path less
traveled, the Jeep Tour takes each passenger to the heart of
the desert and creates a truly memorable experience.
Horseback Riding
One of the best ways to truly connect with the desert environment
is to ride the trails on horseback. Ride the trails through the
scenic foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains with a guide who
will point out unusual rock formations left by the ancient Salton
Sea. Riders are warmly greeted along the way by the local desert
denizens, including rabbits, coyotes, and roadrunners.
Polo Grounds
Polo Grounds offer the ambiance of lush green polo fields, white
picket fences and stables of thoroughbred polo ponies set against
the tall palm trees and majestic Santa Rosa Mountains.
Bicycle Adventures
"May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your
back," as you bicycle over challenging desert trails designed to
revitalize the soul and body.
The Living Desert
Billed as the desert's natural attraction, a guide at this wildlife
and botanical park will introduce you to mountain lions, bobcats, Mexican
wolves, and golden eagles of the Colorado Desert.
Art Museums
Take a short trip to nearby galleries, where you can surround yourself
with contemporary art, jewelry, sculpture, furniture, and objets d'art. Whether
you're a serious collector or a novice buyer, you'll enjoy browsing works
by both emerging and established artists. You can also visit the Palm
Springs Desert Museum, located at the base of majestic Mt. San
Jacinto, featuring exhibition galleries, outdoor sculpture
courts and a 450-seat theater.
El Paseo Shopping
El Paseo, oft referred to as the Rodeo Drive of the desert, is a
world-class shopping experience located in Palm Desert, a short
drive from La Quinta Resort. This world-famous shopping district
features over 300 shops, from boutiques the likes of Gucci, Burberry
and Escada to art galleries, restaurants and fine jewelers.
