From Phoenix we travelled through more desert to the Coachella Valley in California. This is where you find the communities around Palm Springs. We are staying in a beautiful campground called Sam’s Family Resort and Spa in the town of Desert Hot Springs. This campground has four five hot pools/spas and a large swimming pool, all heated from underground hot springs. It is an oasis in the desert with huge palm trees and cacti.
This valley is surrounded by beautiful hills and snow topped mountains. I have been
getting up to watch the sunrise and the colours are amazing (much better than the sunsets for some reason). The first rays of light turn the mountains dusky purple and pink while the Mourning Doves call the world to awaken. The stars are still visible in the sky, and the air is filled with quiet serenity. What a way to start the day….
Ahhhhh....beautiful. I enjoyed the scenery in Palm Springs...Not much to do there (other than golf and shop), but a nice getaway.
