Hight rate 6 location for tourist in Riverside, CA (part 3)
06-2025 Rock Corral in Hight rate 6 location for tourist in Riverside, CA (part 3)Bergamont Park - Riverside Raul “Raw”: The playgrounds are worn down. There was glass around the sandbox. Had to clean it up so the kids could play safely. Its a decent park overall, unfortunately, people cant be cleaner and not trash it.
Moorten Botanical Garden - Palm Springs Nicholas W: A nice cacti garden to walk around in. The staff was very friendly, and offered guided or self guided tours. Was fun to walk around and see the various cacti, other vegetation, birds, tortoises, lizards, and a hummingbird nest. Was a fun relaxing area to meander through.
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway - Palm Springs Nemanja Zdravkovic: This place is truly unforgettable! The Aerial Tramway takes about 10 minutes to reach the top station, just below the peak of Mt. San Jacinto.
We visited in June, and while it was 105°F (40°C) in Palm Springs, it dropped to 57°F (14°C) at the top! So, I highly recommend bringing a light jacket or something with long sleeves—you’ll definitely feel the temperature difference.
The nature up there is absolutely beautiful. You can smell the fresh pine trees all around. There are some longer, more challenging trails leading toward the peak, but we chose shorter trails with peaceful desert views—so quiet and relaxing.
Walk of the Stars Palm Springs - Palm Springs Janelle Wilson: This is a well-kept tribute to the people who helped shape Palm Springs. Even though I didn’t recognize a lot of the names, it was still really interesting to walk through. The whole display feels thoughtful and respectful. Definitely worth checking out if youre into local history and cool California vibes.
Palm Springs Art Museum - Palm Springs Maree Doden: New Curator from Paris, France has given the museum revamped exhibits and fun things to check out. Worth a visit now….the big aluminum-looking house next to the museum (separate ticket) looks interesting. Too hot the day we were there to see what it was about.
Palm Springs Air Museum - Palm Springs John Roe: This is such a great display of men, women, and machines. Everyone should visit and not just on Memorial Day. We enjoyed the fly overs as well as the volunteers who have interesting pasts lives. I purchased the family pass for this year and I am sure we will get a lot of use out of it. Maybe I’ll get lucky and win the raffle next October and ride in a Bi- plane. :)
Greater Palm Springs - Rancho Mirage m kim: We booked a 3-room and a 2-room units for a family trip, and as soon as we opened the door with anticipation and entered, the room was filled with a pleasant smell, the carpet was dirty, and the screen door attached to the door to the veranda was broken. It doesnt feel like were at a resort. It feels like were in a cheap apartment in a slum. A place I wouldnt want to stay again
El Mirador Tower - Palm Springs Carlo N.: El Mirador Tower is an iconic structure of the hotel who has lost its prestige through out the years. It was popular back in the 20’s and in 1982 was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Unfortunately, seven years later a fire destroyed it and they reopened the tower in 1991. This tower remains an icon at the 387-bed acute care hospital, Palm Springs’ only trauma center. Overall, it has an interesting history and architecture.
Agua Caliente Tahquitz Visitor Center - Palm Springs Ram Dongre: Absolutely surprising to see a waterfall in midst of desert! The Tahquitz canyon trail is a one hour loop with medium difficulty. The trail is rocky but not too difficult; carry enough water though. The visitor center has low parking capacity so the staff allows only few cars per parking capacity; so be ready to park on the road leading to the visitor center enter and walk towards. They have clean restrooms and a gift shop plus a water fountain. Do carry sunshades and plenty of sunscreen. If you could sustain cold waters, you can have fun at the 60 feet waterfall. Great overall!
