Despite being such near neighbors, the sleek urban chic of Palm Springs and the spiky swath of Joshua Tree National Park appear to have little in common. Their link is the California desert, where relentless sunshine and rocky landscapes evoke a sense of the unknown.
The resort town of Palm Springs got its start in the 1920s and its popularity escalated as a getaway for the Hollywood Rat Pack. Today, its a stylish time capsule with impeccable mid-century architecture, luxury resorts, boutique hotels, and retro gems tucked away against the rocky foothills. In a landscape of drama and leisure, the gleaming blue of its plentiful swimming pools competes with the crystal blue sky.
Joshua Tree is wild, eroded, and fantastical; its surreal rock formations cooked up through millions of years of erosion, sedimentation, and continental collisions to form hulking, toothy piles of granite. The namesake Joshua trees, with their jagged silhouettes, run rampant among the jumbled piles of boulders. This is the high desertgorgeous in spring and fall, searing hot in summer, and cold enough in winter that snow sometimes dusts the agave.

Joshua Tree was my first experience with the California desert, and I could hardly believe something so magical existedthe right blend of rustic, funky, and chic. I went to Palm Springs that same summer and navigated my way to a classic mid-century boutique hotel where all the guests in the pool knew each other and welcomed us with Bloody Marys.
It's these contrasts that shape Palm Springs and Joshua Tree: the confluence of nearly perpetual sun, well-watered canyons, and bubbling hot springs backdropped by snowcapped mountains and a scoured desert make any visit here unique.

Palm Springs is a charmed escape. Filled with preserved mid-century architecture, nonstop pool parties, and lounges to release your inner Rat Pack, it was Hollywoods playground in the 1920s through the 1960sand it still delivers retro pleasures in a modernist time capsule. Take a whirlwind flight up the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, wander amid Picassos and Warhols at the Palm Springs Art Museum, or simply park yourself poolside and soak in the rays.
Idyllwild is an artsy, rustic mountain town set one-mile high in the forests of the San Jacinto Mountains. In under an hour, you can escape the desert heat of the searing valley floor with a quick tram ride or a short drive to hike cool mountain trails or spend the night in a picturesque cabin.
Surrounding Palm Springs is the Coachella Valley, with day trips to date farms, desert museums, hot springs, and lush canyons. Desert Hot Springs, Thousand Palms, Palm Desert, and Indio comprise the constellation of towns, but the region is perhaps best known for its popular outdoor music festival: the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
views from the South Ridge Trail to Tahquitz Peak
Dusty desert roads, jagged boulder piles, and spiky Joshua trees draw droves of hikers, rock climbers, and day-trippers to this otherworldly, geologic landscape. Tour the historic mines and ranches of desert dreamers, wander amid strange cacti and colorful wildflowers, and take in the views from scenic peaks.
Peppered along the northern border of Joshua Tree National Park are the gateway towns of Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, and Twentynine Palms. All offer unique accommodations and alternatives to camping in the park, as well as local saloons, live music, and epic desert art worthy of exploration.
October-April is the on-season for both Palms Springs and Joshua Tree National Park, with spring the busiest time of year. Advance reservations for hotels in Palm Springs and campsites in Joshua Tree are a good idea during big events like Modernism Week and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
At only 479 feet above sea level, Palm Springss low elevation means that temperatures are fairly mild in winter. The months of October through April are the most temperate, with temperatures ranging from the high 60s to the low 90s during the day.
