In the 1950s, Palm Springs was Hollywood's playground, site of many big-name
movie stars' second homes. After a period of decline, Palm Springs is quickly
becoming glamorous again, with many of its "mid-century moderne" (designer-speak
for 1950s) properties being restored to their former glory. Tour companies can
take you to visit Indian Canyons, through the desert in a Hummer, for a drive
along the San Andreas Fault or out to see the electricity-generating windmills
up close.
