Looking West on Palm Canyon

If you are looking west on Palm Canyon , you'll find the exit to the city of Palm Springs. Go all the way west and you'll run into Highway 10.

This shot is near Ramon. West of here is downtown, where the 26-foot statue of Marylin rises.

The palm trees lining Palm Canyon looking west were planted almost a century ago. Many of the mid-century modern buildings on Palm Canyon Drive, built in the 1950s and 1960s, are mixed with Spanish style edifices with red tile roofs, an architectural marvel to some, not much of anything to others.

Palm Springs is a small town of around 50,000 people, yet the area has all the amenities of a city that is much larger. The locals love tourists so come on down...you'll find plenty to do from hiking the Indian Canyons to climbing to 8000 feet on the tram--an outdoors man's paradise.
