If you have been dreaming of taking a trip to popular Riverside County, California, Palm Springs is like no place else. Known for its natural beauty, aerial adventures and luxury Palm Springs hotels, this resort destination is an exciting place for the entire family.

Palm Springs became a fashionable resort town in the 1900s, attracting health-conscious tourists seeking to alleviate their conditions in the dry desert heat. Hollywood movie stars were drawn to the area in the 1920s, relishing the sunny skies and seclusion. Architects were commissioned to build modern homes using new innovations and materials. It has even been suggested that Palm Springs architecture was the original model for mass-produced suburban housing. The resort blossomed through a combination of new wealth, celebrity and health, which flourished until the 1970s. By then, retirees moved into the Coachella Valley and Palm Springs evolved into a year-round community. Businesses thrived and families with children soon followed. Today, it has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in California.

The climate in the community is very hot and dry with an average of 354 days of sunshine. Striking desert floras dapple the landscape. The community is sheltered by the San Bernardino Mountains, the Santa Rosa Mountains, the San Jacinto Mountains and the Little San Bernardino Mountains, so it's no surprise that outdoor recreation is a mainstay.

It wouldn't be Palm Springs without the aerial adventures. To get the best view of the landscape, take a 1940's biplane above the Coachella Valley or sit comfortably in an air-conditioned helicopter for a tour of the area. Experience the once in a lifetime thrill of a hot air balloon ride. If flying isn't your thing, opt for a ride on the Aerial Tramway. This 10-minute tram ride runs two miles up to the Mountain Station past the sheer cliffs of Chino Canyon. Once there, go hiking or join a guided nature walk in summer and go cross-country skiing in the winter. Whether you charter a hot air balloon for a romantic sunset flight or ride the tram to the mountain peak, getting in the air is the best way to survey the wonder of Coachella Valley.

There are plenty of ways in which you can tour Palm Springs from the ground. Consider taking a Hummer H2 tour to remote locations. In air-conditioned comfort, you'll see the unspoiled beauty of the California desert and feel pampered with gourmet snacks, refreshments and expert guides. For a little romance, take a tour with the Big Horse Carriage Company. Horse-drawn carriage rides run seven evenings per week and take guests on a tour from Palm Canyon Drive to the Historic Village Green. Drivers are knowledgeable and will provide a narrated historical tour if you'd like, although a quiet, romantic evening is certainly available. If you prefer a more rustic tour, you can go horseback riding. Palm Springs and the surrounding areas have over 150 miles of riding trails. No matter the time of year, ride through the historic Agua Caliente Indian Canyons and see the streams and palm oases. Picnic lunches can also be arranged.

When you stay in one of the luxury Palm Springs hotels, you're bound to notice that culture thrives here. The arts and world-class entertainment draw in visitors from all over the globe, recalling that classic era of Hollywood starlets and glamour. Venues like the Palm Springs Pavilion provide everything from theatrical productions to ballroom dancing. The Annenberg Theater offers comedy shows, jazz, classical music and dance, all located inside the Palm Springs Art Museum. Other popular venues include the Hi-Desert Playhouse, the McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts and Agua Caliente Casino&the Show.

Dining in Palm Springs is the best way to get a true taste for the region. Enjoy your meal alfresco at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains or savor happy hour at one of the poolside lounges in the many luxury Palm Springs hotels. The cuisine includes everything from international delicacies to all-American dining, so there's always something to tempt your palate.

Luxury Palm Springs hotels feature amenities like room service, childcare, high-speed Internet access, laundry and dry cleaning, concierge service, on-site spas and restaurants, swimming pools, fitness centers and much more.
