Palm Springs Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips
- Be creative in your drive there. Bumper-to-bumper traffic from L.A. on Friday and Sunday evenings can nearly ruin a weekend jaunt to Palm Springs. If you’re doing a grand tour of Southern California, drive instead from San Diego. The route is on more scenic back roads with little traffic. Or simply fly directly to the Palm Springs airport, which has many direct flights from across the country.
- To rent or not rent a car, that is the question. If you just want to lie by the pool, don’t bother to rent a car. (Most lodging has some sort of food and drink service on site.) But if you want to hit the nightlife or check out the natural attractions in the area, you’ll probably want to rent a car.
- Summer has lower rates. Although Palm Springs is becoming something of a year-round destination, room rates are lower in the summer when temperatures can easily top 100 degrees. But who cares if you're naked under a mister or in a cool pool?
Gay and Lesbian Travel Overview: Palm Springs, California
Just a three-hour drive from L.A., Palm Springs was a queer getaway as early as the 1930s, when closeted or simply curious Hollywood stars came here to live their lifestyles far from prying eyes. Together with sister cities Cathedral City, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, and Rancho Mirage, it lines the Coachella Valley, bordering the Mojave Desert and fortressed by the towering San Jacinto Mountains.Read More
