About Palm Springs
Area Information
Palm Springs is a city in the Coachella Valley of Riverside County, California. About 55 miles east of San Bernardino and 105 miles southeast of Los Angeles, Palm Springs is the largest city in the county. Located at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains, Palm Springs is a popular desert resort area with a year-round population of about 45,000 that doubles during the winter tourist season.
Palm Springs gives you access to many other Southern California hotspots. Joshua Tree National Park is about 38 miles away and the Salton Sea is less than 50 miles away. Music lovers can make it to the Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival in roughly 45 minutes. Wine tasting in Temecula and outdoor recreation at Big Bear Lake are both about 80 miles away. For a change of pace from the desert scene, residents can head around 100 miles west for coastal adventures in Huntington Beach or Newport Beach.
