With an average of 248 sunny days per year, living life outdoors is what Southern California is all about. From its world-renowned zoo to its aquamarine waves, surfing and hang-gliding, San Diego is one of California’s coastal cabochons. It’s just two hours southwest of Palm Springs – a mid-century modern desert mecca that is home to some of the finest spas in the country. Tour Sinatra-era celebrity homes, go to neighboring Joshua Tree National Park, tour Temecula Valley wine country, but don’t miss a ride on Palm Springs’ Aerial Tramway.
