Palm Spring then San Diego with kids

Death Valley is quite a distance from Palm Springs. There are a lot of things to do around the Coachella Valley. My folks had a winter place there for years. Start with the tram to the top of the San Jacinto Mountains. Check out the oases nearby with native Washingonia palms. I really like the Native American land near PS, which charges a small fee. Take a ride to Idylwild on the Palms to Pines highway.

Great restaurants in PS. Take a day trip out in the desert. I am going to miss the place.
