A quick guide to Palm Springs if you only have 2 days and a nickel to spare.
Stay at The Movie Colony, a small boutique hotel with bungalows tucked away between palm trees.
Take a drive around town on a self guided tour of all the Mid Century modern architecture like this one by Richard Neutra.
Ascend 2.5 miles up into Mount San Jacinto on the Aerial Tramway for a scenic hike.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht3kr_gJJN9AGqzFfwTZ0wROt2q0IcWHYS1NLg4pnRyibpQ6YnSJPozOX-tM3WUoJv8tb5Jru1HeR_3aC5hY8M7Un4NsIkDb2M9NyQ5q1nez1Ma60fG6zCBM7LRzg36GD0vD8iFZq7rzq0/s1600/DSC_0659.jpg)

A stroll down Palm Canyon Drive will bring you to a bevy of shops, bars, and restaurants. On Thursday nights the street turns into the Villagefest nightmarket.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqB1whYUFi6m1yCVmGoWXCj0IZ6UMtGow8DLLrP29DfXbb-QyZgrcQUpZmt-C_Di9jaIpO2oku5Ew6HnWCBRKwTNKkifK-dqkVduM3y7gPyH5rHgKcuZNty8AC4l0Ibzgmog0sKwNrQ6j/s1600/DSC_0688.jpg)

Venture further into the desert and you will find an ocean. The Salton Sea is truly a freak of nature whose beauty is unusual but undeniable. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdkoXMxbpwC-pKG7E6rGfTZmph3Ndjh2B6GYRlrMzzKDKcYFtUyvgWJX1Rs_GQSjC1FgdLHoKdOedXPIEiUolkMXotJJpspBAmq3vXl3IiRU5Goix7daBOZzIwS8ZR35rcL_p0X80cvvp2/s1600/DSC_0714.jpg)

A few miles from the Salton Sea is a dirt road that leads to the Painted Canyons. Drive down it if you dare or at least tell someone. I say this because it is incredibly isolated and very 127 Hours.
