Weekend Journey to Palm Springs, CA
Day 1:
The first day of your weekend journey to Palm Springs should put a firm focus on exploring the city’s one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Here, mid-century modern architecture abounds, and a great way to relish your surroundings to the fullest and learn more while you’re at it is to make time to participate in a guided architecture tour during your stay. Afterward, treat yourself to a delicious farm-to-table dish and handcrafted cocktail at Workshop Kitchen & Bar located at 800 N. Palm Canyon Drive. This restaurant sits in a former movie house and pairs impeccable flavor and history seamlessly. This is also a great day to take a stroll along Palm Canyon Drive after you dine, and admire the many boutiques and galleries that line this route in good company.
Day 2:
The second day of your Palm Springs weekend stay deserves to start on a delicious note. Consider grabbing breakfast at Cheeky’s at 622 N. Palm Canyon Drive. This popular and modern breakfast and lunch stop in town is a terrific place to treat yourself to bacon flights and specialty cinnamon rolls in abundance! Once you’re fueled up for the fun ahead, make your way to the Palm Springs Art Museum to enjoy browsing inspiring exhibits and displays that span mid-century modern designs as well as contemporary art and Indigenous designs too. Next up is a trip on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, where you’ll travel toward the Mount San Jacinto summit, enjoying panoramic views of the Coachella Valley below. At the top, there are hiking trails to enjoy, observation decks to explore, and a restaurant as well. End day two with some well-deserved shopping at the Uptown Design District, where you can invest in one-of-a-kind items of all kinds.
Day 3:
The third day of your weekend getaway to Palm Springs is a chance to beat the heat on one of the many hiking trails that run through scenic Indian Canyons. These trails are dotted with palm trees and rocky cliffs to admire and are suitable for hikers of all skill levels. Make sure you have a camera in hand for this adventure because some of the trails showcase waterfalls as well. After your trekking fun, treat yourself to a delicious meal at Norma’s at 4200 E Palm Canyon Drive, where everything from mouthwatering milkshakes to lobster mac n’ cheese graces the menu daily. Next, make your way to the Moorten Botanical Garden, where you can browse an impressive collection of succulents and cacti on-site at this welcoming family-owned desert garden in town.
