Thanks for the catch on my saying that Lisa Marie was Elvis wife. Unfortunately, I can't edit the video to fix that but the honeymoon hideaway is where Priscilla and Elvis Presley stayed as many have pointed out.
Thank you for your time.
Congratulations! You gave me an oedipal shudder!
Great channel, btw.
I was there when the Alexanders lived there . Here is another version of mid-century modern architecture with a purpose . I also visited there at a convention and other times . Most colorful , creative man of the times and nearby. czcams.com/video/7XGkol0lR0o/video.html , ' " George Van Tassel Speaks " watch
I live there and have nothing to do thanks
@Christopher Hueghs Hi , I left out any mention of 29 palms on purpose due the FACT that it is the septic system of the world and a shame on humanity . It is where brain washed minions of SATAN become mercenaries of evil for VA benefits and an evil father figure to tell them what to do . Because they can not figure out how to be a man and create good in the world . One of the 836 military bases in 170 countries while China and Russia have only eleven bases out side their countries . 29 palms is the drone bomber training ground and the lights from it at night deprive the locals of needed night sky required for healthy living . Sorry you had to bring it up . What a disappointment for decent folks .of the entire world ! It is why we have endless wars . To give them a reason for existing .
Just a tip, every Thursday night between 7pm-11pm there is a street fair on the downtown Palm Springs Strip. Super fun, loaded with people and amazing products. My first date was there.
No way i gotta go .on what street does it start?
@@siaavalos6039 it's on Palm Canyon
I use to go to those street fairs when I was little
@@siaavalos6039
Park at the Spa Resort Casino and walk the block to get there. Its to the east of the casino.
Alina Thornton I know I love that
I wouldn’t recommend wandering around the desert. I went into a cave and got caught in a time loop. I had to relive the same day over and over for hundreds of years.
😂 good movie
lmaoo. man, now i wanna go rewatch that movie. really enjoyed it
@@deanmoriarty6015 what movie was this?
@@neptunemike palm springs. it’s on hulu
How did you get back?
I've always been curious about how people make it back from such wonderful adventures 🙂
You got to do a complete review on the living desert in palm desert. It’s definitely one of the most underrated places in Southern California.
Good suggestion, I will have to check that spot out again one of these days!
California Through My Lens you won’t be disappointed bro. They have their own hiking trail and everything. You can definitely make a lot of content there.
You mean overrated
Yes! You can feed giraffe and ride a camel
I was going to recommend the LD! My family gets memberships every year, it's a fabulous zoo!
Surprised Indian canyons didn't make the list! Andreas canyon in Indian Canyons is truly magical.
true!!
yes , also. local history czcams.com/video/7XGkol0lR0o/video.html
THANK YOU
@@richardfrancisco7040 Thanks Richard
Jeeheon Cho I know
Recommendation number one, don't come here during the summer 🔥
John Eli I went late July last year and it was uncomfortably hot
It was so hot the pool was warm
John Eli lol true

I lived in the Coachella valley for 23 years......you get used to it eventually 😂
I live here in the desert and you've got me excited to go exploring it more.
🌞🌴🐍🌸🍃🌈🐰😎
Equilibrium C: I live here and I’ve been to half of these😂
I'm going to be moving there soon!

I really want to go here one day. Looks so beautiful and I love the mid century homes.

The Living Desert! Great place!

My wife and I are in Palm Springs for a two-week holiday. Based on your video we went to Bill’s Pizza. It was the BEST pizza I have ever eaten! Thank you for the recommendation.
I love Palm Springs and have been to some of the places on this list and now you have given me more places to checkout!
Thanks for the comment, let me know if you have other suggestions for spots in the city to check out.
Thank you Josh!
I’m headed that way next week. And now I have more than enough info to do Palm Springs right!
I have to try that Dole Whip Float.
Yum 😋
We hiked in the Tahquitz Canyon and it was beautiful.
This is so cool.. its impossible for me to visit US so good thing i was able to bumped into this video.. Amazingly AWESOME..A bunch of thanks
Such an awesome video thank you for sharing can’t wait to visit
Sunnylands Ranch in the spring when the flowers are blooming. This is where a lot of presidents would go to vacation. The grounds are amazing. My favorite is the barrel cactus garden.
AWESOME!! Close enough to spend the day and drive back to Temecula. Great shots of the Tram and hikes, loving that 4K quality.
THANKS!! Planning a day trip through the Tram, few eats in town, and then through Joshua Tree! Perfect time of year to go! Thanks again love this channel, always worth watching 2-3 times to plan an adventure!
Thanks so much for the comment and the support! I agree, this is the best time of year to explore the desert. I plan to go to Joshua Tree a few times as well!
Lived in Palm Springs my whole life and I have only done everything from your list once
I am a french canadian ,just coming back from palm spring ....just one of the best city to visit .people are so nice all the things to do are great. ..just hope to get back soon
Thank you for sharing a great video!! It is a wonderfully cute place. I would love to visit there soon.

Same
Now I must go to Palm Springs!

Thank you. Always enjoy your videos
They have an Elmer’s there??? Best breakfasts ever! Now I have another reason to visit. Thanks for posting
It's so good, I wish I could eat that pancake all of the time.
Dude this video is absolutely incredible. You’ve got me so fired up to go and visit this place. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this. Very appreciative
I saw them so delicious. Thanks for sharing
This is great to know as I will be there Oct.30 to Nov.4, thank you for posting.
Great video! Your channel is modern day version of Huell Howser's California's Gold
Proud to live in Palm Springs
You did a great job on this video.I Love Palm Springs and the desert.
Bill from "Bill's Pizza" catered my wedding! He was such a sweet man to work with from beginning to end. We wanted to have fun food for our guests and tried so many places, Bill's was our top choice and he personally talked to us day in and day out. My wedding was his first and last wedding to cater as he sadly passed away from a roofing accident months later. We had tech issues at my venue from start to finish, but Bill pulled on through and made it as great as possible, my guests loved his pizza. I will truly miss Bill, he was such a warm hearted man with so much love in his heart. Thank you for everything Bill, I'll miss you.
Im getting to Southern California next year, all recommendations are welcome. I'm from the Netherlands and I'm already excited for the sunny clear weather only
Dutch weather is better!
I've lived here since 2005 and still have never been on the tram. Have to actually do that one of these days, haha. Thanks for the nice look at our lovely city. 😊
Same since 02 never been on the tram and missed robo lights too.
The tramway is super cool! It's nothing but you, and mother nature!
Fantastic and informative vid! Thank you for all of the great tips!
Thanks for making this video, it brought me back fond memories when I lived in Palm Springs.
I'm sure your going back again because you left out a lot of great places and restaurants in the Coachella Valley.
Village Fest on Thursday night when the city close Palm Canyon Dr and all the vendors come out at night and it gets very crowded with the locals and visitors come out and enjoy the night away
Great stuff, and very recent info. I go out there 6-7 times a year, and you hit many of my favorite hot spots. (P.S. Don't forget the metallic female statue behind the Starbucks. Great place for selfies, and you're just a block from the Art Museum and the mysterious giant black babies...)
Thanks for the tips, I will have to check out those spots next time!
There is a cool small hike behind the art museum that overlooks Palm Springs and beyond 👍🏼
DO NOT GET LOST! THAT HIKE CAN LEAD ALL THE WAY TO THE TRAM. People get lost and die on it every year. No cell service either. Enjoy.
@@Sig_P229 people die there every year???
@@escoba1971 yup. Usually 3 to 4 people a month in the summers. People try to hike 10 to 20 miles with a 16.9 oz water bottle in 120+ heat
So loving your videos and channel! I have always wanted to go to Palm Springs now it is definitely a Must Go! Thanks😁
Thanks! My family is staying at Palm Springs. For 3 days. Thanks again!
I was in Palm Springs for the first time in November of 2021, and after being sheltered in place for a while, it was such a breath of fresh air to be there at a good time. I had driven on I-10 a number of times and never realized how close it is to the freeway. It's downtown area has a lot eateries and entertainment, but what impressed me the most was the gondola ride up to the top of the San Jacinto Mountains. Looking up to the top of the mountains from the valley, it appears its terrain is the same as in the valley, but I was surprised at how much cooler it was at the top, and how much it looked like being in Yosemite. I am glad we got a chance to up to the top because I was totally impressed with the physical environment at the top.
Love your videos...that would be Pricilla Presley, Lisa Marie is the daughter..lol
haha whoops! Good call
@@californiathroughmylens It happens
I went on the aerial tramway 🚡 in Palm Springs I had to wait 3 hours and I got a blister so I had to get carried by my dad
Yeah, I caught that too
So how come you still haven't fixed it?
You rock. I was considering moving to Palm Springs and I'd seen this video awhile back. I was hoping I'd find it today. This guy knows his stuff. . Thanks Josh. B. In Mexico
I’m so glad I found your channel!! I love your videos!!
Great list of things to do in Palm Springs, I love how well thought out your video was and the list you made!
As desert rat born and raised this is spot on. But you have to add the Indian canyons, a staple, and the natural hot springs in desert hot springs, there are many resorts that have them in that town. if you go to JT you can swing by desert hots springs before heading back to Palm Springs.
Awesome video! Thank you!
Hello new friend here, wow! Amazing beatiful places. Injoy your day. Thank thank for sharing with us. Happy new year.
Palm Springs air Museum is the best Must see
I agree, it is an amazing spot!
My favorite place to go in PS! The docents are amazing treasure troves of information
Me and my friends are planning a trip to Palm Springs and this was so helpful. Thanks Josh!
Thank you! Great stuff.
Wow! You have the best recommendations!
You forgot Las Casuelas Terraza on Palm Canyon Dr. The food is amazing. Perfect atmosphere at sunset.
I’m from the area!!! Y’all need to check out Salvation Mountain and Ladder Canyon
Ladder Canyon is amazing
Eve Reyes A massive fat lady guards salvation mountain and she yells at everyone!
This was Wonderful. Thank you!
Great video! My wife and I eat a Lulu's Café every time we go to Palm Springs. Another place for great shakes is Shield's Date Farm in Indio. Their date shakes are worth the drive out there. They also have a nice selection of dates, nuts, and an assortment of other delicious fare.
Hey guys! Just headed out to Palm Springs weekend with your vid as inspiration! We hit up Bills Pizza and Lapperts and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Much love. -- Chris
So awesome! Glad you enjoyed those recommendations!
Other places that are pretty cool: The Living Desert, of course, cool hikes and animals, giraffes are cool, you can go pet goats. Painted Canyons, hour drive but the ladder Canyon Hike is one that my family does every year, never gets old, and I hate hiking. Sunnylands is a nice place that has a cool garden and is really pretty. They brought us to the Holocaust Memorial in elementary school, that place is very nice. Rancho Mirage Public Library has an observatory and if you go online I think there might be more details about getting tours, also there’s always something going on there. Also if you’re here during Christmas Break Candy Cane Lane (Minerva Lane) goes all out with Christmas Lights and it is sooooo pretty, so much fun and if you go on the right day someone one of the houses with have a light covered fire truck, or one of the houses with have free hot chocolate. Anyway yeah, also Desert X thing, though I’m not sure if that’s still going on but they’ve done it the past two years around Coachella and it’s pretty awesome. Anyway, Idk if thats helpful but I’ve lived in the valley all my life so as long as you aren’t here during summer you’ve come to the right place.
Thank you for making this video. I enjoyed it!
Great food recommendations. That shake with the donut 🍩 on the straw and the 🥓 bacon are enticing me to drive down there.
I know right? A donut plus a milkshake is hard to beat, plus that is the only place I have seen a bacon flight at!
Dude , GREAT VIDEOS ! PRISCILLA ...NOT LISA MARIE ! Joshua Tree here ...FUN PLACE TO GET TWISTED AFTER THE PS TOUR !
Pinnochios is also a great Brunch Restaurant and they do Bottomles champagne! Breakfast is really good its a must.!!!!
Had more way to any mimosas than I can remember at Pinocchio’s but I slightly remember a delicious turkey bacon cheese and avocado melt. Prepare to take home 1/2. It is great hangover food and you may need it
We are in Palm Springs right now and are going to check out your recommendations
Excellent! Very thorough.
"I Suvived" had a really scary episode about a couple that got lost on a trail from the top of the tram.
I just moved to Palm Springs so this is super helpful on what to do here 😂
Hey I'll show you around lol
You can do me here ! 😂😂😂 jk you got a snap ?
Mike Martinez 😂😂
@@lzo9755 💀💀💀 my boooooi !
Thanks, I go to Palm Springs a lot in the winter.
Perty good! You threw it down like a local!
When you are in the valley you need to go to the best breakfast place in the valley which is located in rancho mirage of the hwy 111 it is called
Palms caffe. For sure best place in town for breakfast.
I like Spencers for breakfast and Koffie (SP?) close to the mentioned Saphoro Hotel
Thanks for great spots to visit...agree, been to few ....love PS
Great video and personable narration. LULU'S is a favorite restaurant of mine. Looking forward to the time when we can go there again.
Lmao, the way he says Tahquitz. Just like every snow bird who visits.
reminds me of takis
You've never mispronounced a word?
@@bricktopperheadon5490 It's not a negative, it's simply an easy way to spot an out of towner.
How is it pronounced correctly?
Nothing wrong with someone mispronouncing it, but to answer your question, it's pronounced ta-quits
I used to delivery for Lappert's back in the mid 90's. I worked at the Hermosa Beach location which is not there anymore, and I made deliveries to the Palm Springs location. It was founded in Hawaii, and it is really popular there. I know my boss said Mr. Lappert passed away a while back. The ice cream was very tasty.
Very useful and helpful information ℹ️ Thanks for sharing.
Great video..We are coming over on holiday from Scotland in June,so excited to see Palm Springs..!!
Stuart Miller After visiting Palm Springs you can drive up the mountain to a quaint little town called Idyllwild that’s a fantastic contrast to the desert atmosphere!
#9 "Pool Side" ~ Must include Desert Hot Springs Spa & Hotel
Ahh yes nothing like being served on by drug addicts and felons! The owner has a deal with CA Corrections. If an inmate has no family, or prospects they can volunteer to get dropped off in DHS and work at his spa. He pays minimum wage, and they live in apartments on the property for a discount. However, he is also known in the valley for paying in speed if you would rather have that then cash. He will even let you run a tab, so you basically end up in debt to him and working for free. Over the years I met many an employee of his.
I like driving around and looking at the centenary homes.
That is a great suggestion as well.
Thank you very much for this inspiring video. I´ll sure go there in my upcoming USA holliday.
How can you not mention Sherman's deli? The best!
liver Pate yummm
Sherman's Deli, Tyler's burgers and Reuben and Ozzys should have been on this video.
IT IS!!!!!! and if you leave there hungry....it's your OWN fault! GREAT food, good prices, and usually great service.....I've never been disappointed there and it doesn't take much to disappoint me! lol
@@austinstuder1154 OMG!!!!! YES!!! Just tried Tyler's for the first time!!!!! DAMN!!!! It was the best burger (and just about the best meal) I had the entire week i was there!!! I will absolutely go there again!!! The only thing that bothered me was they don't have a bathroom.....didn't know you could operate a business without one.
They do make nice food but i think its little overpriced for what you get.
i live in palm springs. everything you mentioned is good but someone like me i get spoiled having all of that stuff around and i'm always going out of town to do something.
Thank you! That was informative and entertaining!
Awesome! I'd love to see more vids about the Palm Springs area. I love it there! Indian Canyons is rad spot in PS too!
I was born here but I live in cathedral city 5 min away so I perfectly know Pam springs
Axel Chico Cat city is full of scumbag Tweekers!
What about the dinosaurs?! So cool, look it up!!
Sorry thats not in Palm Springs that's located in Cabazon LOL
good suggestion . check out this desert information. czcams.com/video/7XGkol0lR0o/video.html
HighestVirtue ok 10 minute drive my bad lol
The dinosaurs were actually pretty cool!
@@derekzbetter right!!! So unique for pictures
Great video! I flew in one of the planes at the air museum! Great experience! I liked when you mentioned Elvis’s house too!
great Video, thanks, in 10 days we are in Palm Springs.....
What about the ATV Quads off Hwy 111 while entering Palm Springs it's $40 a Person it's Fun for everyone of all ages. I take Family and Friends when Visiting
Yes, that place is very fun!!!!
I went to Palm Springs for spring break about two weeks ago and we went there and had so much fun!
Bring a jacket!
check out this museum tour of the area czcams.com/video/7XGkol0lR0o/video.html
Next time you should visit George’s Burger right outside of Palm Springs in the Cathedral city area
Wow. thanks. finally someone put this together.
Great video! Considering a return visit to Palm Springs. Was there in 2000, and did a few of the things you suggested. I rode the Aerial Tram with a good friend, and it was breathtaking.
Visit Indio and Coachella area 👌🏽👌🏽
Literally everyone is there rn.
I love your videos. This is great. So you can sound like a local next time, say “ha-sinto” not “jah-sinto”, and “tah-quits” not “tah-keets”. Also, Elvis and Pricilla (not Lisa Marie, his daughter) rented that house for more than just a night.
i say "tah-keets" also.....i figured it was a spanish word...so i say it the way a spanish speaking person would read it....when i hear the locals (my friends) say "tah-quits" i cringe! lol
It’s too late, he ruined it
@@michaelshelley1289 Your logic is good, but It's actually a Cahuilla indian word.
Great video featuring Palm Springs!
Am a new subscriber. Thank you for this video as I want to visit Palm Springs someday.
