See, Stay, Eat, Do: Palm Springs

See

Palm Springs Star Tour and Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
Palm Springs is once again making a resurgence as a place for the showbiz elite to get away from the bright lights and relax — just like in the Golden Age of Hollywood. Discover the stylish vacation homes of some of the greats of Old Hollywood — from Frank Sinatra to Elvis, Bob Hope to Marilyn Monroe — on a Palm Springs Star Tour. Or experience the desert beauty from a different view aboard the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway — a journey rising 8,500 feet up the sheer cliffs in the world’s largest rotating tramcar — letting you take in gorgeous panoramic views of the surrounding Chino Canyon.
