Palm Desert
You are viewing an old revision of this post, from February 28, 2018 @ 19:57:13. See below for differences between this version and the current revision.
We spent a wonderful warm time in Palm Desert visiting Aviva’s mother and her friend Dave. We did a lot of things (in addition to laying out in the morning sun).
We went to the Palm Springs Desert Museum; they have a number of Morris Grave’s images which Aviva really likes. They also have a Chihuly and a neat pair of red lenses in the upstairs, perminent exhibit.
A detail of the Chihuly glass piece | Aviva through one of the red lenses |
We also went to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. There are two cars that each hold 80 + 1 people. It traverses two and a half miles with a vertical climb of over a mile – it is the second longest tramway in the world. We also took a long hike (about three-quarters of a mile) around the Mountain Station; it required quite a climb down and back up on a spiralling walkway. I took some panoramic shots of the valley floor from the Mountain Station and from our ride home.
We also went to Idllwyld, a small art community in the mountains. We took Highway 74; it twists and turns through the mountains!
