Palm Springs is a desert resort city in southern California, in the Coachella Valley east of Los Angeles.

Soar up a mountain by aerial tram, lounge by a palm-lined pool, and roam Joshua Tree's boulders - endless desert magic awaits!
When to go
Winter and spring are the prime seasons with warm, dry days and cool nights, while summer heat regularly tops 40 C. The area draws big crowds around the Coachella festival in April.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
Palm Springs (PSP) usually needs one connection from eastern Canada, and is sometimes nonstop from the larger Canadian cities in winter. Most itineraries route through a US hub such as Los Angeles, Dallas or Denver, or through Toronto, and you will clear US customs at your first American stop. Winter is peak season for this desert getaway, so service is best then.
What to see and do

- Hiking in Indian Canyons
- Day-tripping to Joshua Tree National Park
Good to know before you go
The currency is the US dollar and English is spoken. Transit is minimal and the sights spread across the valley, so Uber and Lyft are the easiest way to get around car-free; a rental car is convenient if you can get one, though under-25 drivers often pay a young-driver surcharge, and parking is easy and free at most hotels. Desert heat means carrying water and planning outdoor activities for the morning.
