The Road Less Traveled Forget zipping along on the interstate at 70 mph, driving down streets with stoplights, and cruising through the neighborhoods. If you really want to go “somewhere,” park your luxury car and hop in an open-air military Hummer. Adventure Hummer Tours takes guests on daily off-road treks to see the desert. |
Dreaming of a White Christmas The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway takes passengers from the desert floor up through Chino Canyon and lets them off at an elevation where winter takes a decidedly “undesert” turn. The Adventure Center rents skis and snowshoes and the mountain gift shop sells sleds, so you should be well equipped for whatever conditions you find. |
Look - Don't Touch While anyone who has been stuck by a cactus needle may presume the needles’ only purpose is to cause pain to any living thing that gets too close, they’re actually there more to trap whatever moisture can be found and, particularly in density, provide shade to the fleshy part of the plant. Learn more about cacti from Clark Moorten. |
Day and Night Tripping In addition to seeing a variety of cacti, birds, and animals that can be found in
the local and nearby deserts, The Living Desert H plays home to many creatures
who typically reside in African deserts, including giraffes, ostriches, gazelles, zebras,
camels, cheetahs, and hyenas. |
