See Tahquitz Canyon Way

Tahquitz Canyon Way at night


After Palm Canyon Way, the most important street in Palm Springs is Tahquitz Canyon Way.

Both streets are the crossroads of Palm Springs. For coffee drinkers, that means the choice for coffee from Starbucks and Coffee Bean is simply a matter of crossing the street diagonally to get from one to the other.

The center of Palm Springs also hosts the huge statue of Marilyn Monroe, certainly the city's most important monument.

Taking a walk from the Marilyn statue eastward on Tahquitz Canyon, you'll find that the road ends at the Palm Springs Airport.

In between is a large array of attractions that include a movie theater complex, The Spa Hotel and Casino, the Agua Caliente graveyard,  a Fresh and Easy Market, an empty Palm Springs Mall, and, at the very end at the airport entrance, another statue--this one the bust of JFK in bronze.
