The seemingly endless desert commute to Palm Springs can easily become boring and miserable. But there are simpler, worry-free alternatives when traveling to Coachella Valley. At Los Angeles County Limousine we have offered such commutes for several years.
Often popular when Coachella Festival takes place, limo rides to Palm Springs has become an all-year event. While many LA passengers prefer a simple SUV or black sedan vehicle, others upgrade to stylish stretch limousines. For music festivals and also golf tournaments, we have transported clientele in Limo buses.
But what is it to see on the way? Doing weekly trips between the two cities, we have learned a few of the most noteworthy stops along the route.
TOP STOPS FROM LA TO PALM SPRINGS
3. NATIVE CALIFORNIA
Let’s face it; what better best place is there to experience Native-American culture? Driving from LA to Palm Springs crisscrosses over regions occupied by numerous tribes. While LA County was inhabited by the Tongva- and Chumash peoples, while the deserts in-between were populated by the Serrano. Cahuilla is the name of Palm Springs’ indigenous inhabitants. The Cahuillas named the area Sekhi, meaning “Hot Water,” referring to the many springs in the area.
You can explore Native American history and artifacts at Ya’i Heki’s Regional Indian Museum in Perris, CA, or at Malki Museum in Banning, California.
2. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: WINDMILL SCENES
Impossible to miss, the wind turbines by San Gorgonio Pass are located just a few miles west of Palm Springs at the “gateway” to Coachella Valley. This wind farm is worth the visit for several reasons. Not only have the turbines been an iconic sight for visiting travelers for nearly 40 years, but they are also significant as they were part of the first turbine park in America. The now almost 3,000 windmills provide electricity for over 300 thousand homes.
And not to forget, the windmills were also shown in a pretty epic helicopter scene in the film Mission Impossible III from 2006!
