Monday, January 30, 2012 at 7:29AM Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and a cliché box of chocolates and bouquet of roses just aren’t enough to express how truly special your love is. Luckily, Palm Springs has plenty of options to celebrate your romance. From decadent spa treatments to private horseback tours of the Indian Canyons, you and your sweetie will enjoy a memorable romantic experience in Palm Springs.
Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at 10:48AM Stretched out on a poolside lounger, sipping a tall, icy beverage as the sun warms the grass-fringed deck, I squint behind my shades and imagine a swim-trunks-clad Don Draper emerging from one of The Horizon Hotel’s low-slung guestroom buildings and strolling over for a refreshing midday splash. Indeed, my Mad Men–inspired daydream fits right in with the retro ambiance of this carefully restored 1952 hotel. The only incongruity in this quintessential summertime scene is the snow blanketing the dramatic San Jacinto Mountains behind me. This is Palm Springs in the winter.
Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 7:23AM The Coachella Valley attracts bicycle enthusiasts for myriad reasons: ideal weather, easy terrain, stellar sightseeing, green attitude, great exercise, cycle-centric events such as Tour de Palm Springs, and a growing network of bike paths. According to Blair Morgan, co-owner of the local rental outlet Bike Palm Springs, the most obvious draw for cyclists is the flat landscape.
Monday, November 1, 2010 at 9:58AM One of the reasons that I moved to Palm Springs in 1999 was to experience the great weather that I did not have while living in San Francisco. With about 320 days of sun here in the Desert, one can go hiking, biking, yoga in the park, take a stroll in town. It was a beautiful, sunny day in Palm Springs and I decided to get out of the office and go for walk. I headed north on Palm Canyon Dr towards the Uptown district when I came across one of Palm Springs' newest businesses: Bike Palm Springs Rental & Tours
Monday, May 24, 2010 at 4:59PM With wide streets, flat terrain, and often very little traffic, Palm Springs is an ideal place to ride a bike. But until recently, if you didn’t own your own, renting one meant driving down valley to get one. Then, in fall of 2009, Blair and Rocky decided to change that. With Blair still running his busy interior design practice in San Francisco and Palm Springs, and Rocky deciding to retire from his contracting business, the couple of six years decided to start a new venture modeled after the successful businesses they saw on vacations to Provincetown: a bike rental company. Thus, BIKE Palm Springs was born.
