Known as LA’s resort town, Palm Springs has gone through many revivals. From a town of glamorous desert vacation homes for Old Hollywood and the Rat Pack, to the home of modernist architecture, to perhaps the most LGBTQ-friendly city in all the US (the city council is currently 100% LGBTQ), Palm Springs, like the rest of California, thrives on reinvention.

It’s quirky and puzzling and wonderful, like so much of the Southwest desert is. I can’t wait to explore more.
