Palm Desert, I have never visited but I hear that it's unlike what you would ideally think of when you hear the word, "desert." I know very little about Palm Desert, expect that Coachella is annually held there and that is another topic that I know nothing about. So this field trip will allow me to learn more about Palm Desert.
According to the Palm Desert site of California it was incorporated November 26, 1973. The city of Palm Desert is noted as one of the safest cities in Southern California. Palm Desert is sheltered from coastal air pollution and inclement weather, there are 350 days of sunshine a year. In July the average temperature is a high of 107 and a low of 74 (still incredibly cooler than that of its fellow California resident, Death Valley).
There are no adjacent offshore cold oceanic currents. The palms highway is surrounded by a ring of high mountains that were created primarily by uplift along faults. Overall, a trip to Palm Desert was more enjoyable than that of Death Valley.
