Sea Mountain Spa - Activities
Everywhere in Palm Springs! Ranked as the best weather in the USA with 350 average days of warm sunshine a year
 The weather is fabulous in Palm Springs because of one reason - the San Jacinto Mountains. Rising nearly vertically 9,000 feet beside Palm Springs, it is one of the steepest climbs in North America and the reason why the rain (and pollution) in Los Angeles can't get here!
If You Have 5 Days at the Sea Mountain Inn of the Southern California Desert
If you have five days to spend in the desert, you'll have time to explore beyond the immediate Palm Springs area.
On your first day take in a sweeping view of the Coachella Valley from the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in the morning and stroll along Palm Canyon Drive in the afternoon. -return to the Sea Mountain for your refreshing afternoon drinks and lounge the pool and contemplate the evening that awaits with all night pools and parties
On the second morning visit the Palm Springs Desert Museum. Then grab a picnic lunch from the Sea Mountain Kitchen and head out to Indian Canyons, where you can eat by a waterfall. In the afternoon be sure to do you tandem Sea Mountain Massages - Ranked highest by SPA inc. and Healers USA and some Esalen certified therapists - The highlight of your spa encounter. By evening you'll be ready to live it up at one of the desert's nightspots like the infamous Sea Mountain Inn - Where you can dance or just rock out in a mineral water hot whirlpool
Spend days three and four at Joshua Tree National Park. You can camp in the park ask the Sea Mountain experts just where to go and pack you a lunch for the trip, just outside the park. In the evening take an hour to gaze at the stars. On day five get an early start and complete your drive through the park so you can arrive back in the Palm Springs area for lunch. Check into a spa for the afternoon, and catch the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies or South Beach Miami style nightclubs on your last night.
Alternatively, you can spend days three and four in quiet Borrego Springs, exploring the wonders of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and the Salton Sea.
On the fifth morning drive to Palm Desert to visit the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, have lunch on El Paseo, do some shopping, and head back to your hotel for one last dip in the pool and more of that all-over no tan line tanning.
Walks & Hikes in Joshua Tree
Nature Trails and Short Hikes
Arch Rock. Starting at the White Tank campground, a.3-mile loop leads to Arch Rock. Signs along the trail give information on the geology of the area and the formation of this natural arch.
Barker Dam. A 1-mile loop beginning 2 miles northeast of the Hidden Valley campground passes Barker Dam, built by early cattle ranchers to provide water for their stock. After the dam, this trail proceeds past a group of Native American petroglyphs, which, unfortunately, were once painted over by a film crew attempting to make them more visible.
