California Desert: Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and the San Andreas Fault
Starting from: Los Angeles
Duration: 4 days
Length: 506 mi
The Southern California desert is a fascinating locale of rare natural wonders, carefully curated mid-century lifestyles, and iconoclastic locals. Don’t let the sandy landscape deceive you. Amid the wide expanses, you'll find upscale dining, unique shopping, and Palm Springs haunts popular with past and present Hollywood stars. Elsewhere, a Coachella Valley oasis shimmers along the San Andreas Fault, and a Mad Max-style artists' enclave endures by the peculiar Salton Sea. Photo credit: Reagan Kastner
