Seeking Relief in the California Desert

Typical images of California include sprawling beaches packed with surfers and sunbathers, ritzy shopping districts and cosmopolitan cities. This is a large state with lot’s more to offer, however, including surprisingly lovely desert landscapes that rival any seaside scene you’ve visited before.


Spots like La Quinta, Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage work their magic by offering golf courses galore, ideally situated vacation rentals and an abundance of outdoor activities set against a backdrop of dreamy colors, textures and terrain. Perhaps you never realized it, but as long as you have room to breathe, land fit for exploration and plenty of amenities to keep you feeling safe, comfortable and even a little pampered, a happy vacation you’ll surely have.


Specifically, check out Moorten Botanical Garden, Indian Canyons, Joshua Tree National Park or Big Bear Lake. Keep things natural by retreating into the serenity of the desert for a cleansing and uplifting experience or embrace the culture, art, shopping and luxury aspects of this playland for the rich and famous; golf, tennis, spas, festivals and fine restaurants will completely alter your perception of California’s interior.


There’s nothing dried up and dusty about a tried-and-true region that consistently offers solace, peace and relaxation, so abandon the conventional coast and choose your own oasis in the California Desert.
