Palm Springs Overnight Drive

Palm Springs

About this event

Join us on Saturday June 1st and 2nd for a weekend of scenic driving through state and national parks!  We will drive over 350 miles over two days with an overnight stop in lovely Palm Springs.  On Sunday, we will drive up and over and thru the San Jacinto Mountains back to home.  We will leave early enough Sunday morning to get home around lunch time. 

Saturday we will meet at Target (2911 Jamacha Road, El Cajon, CA 92019) at noon.  At 12:30, I will give a brief overview of the days drive and will hand out direction and a list of Points of Interest that you may indulge upon yourself.  You can drive straight to Palm springs, or stop at scenic viewpoints or stores for shopping. 

Sunday we will meet at Jack-in-the-Box (5200 Ramon Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92264) at 8am.  At 8:30, I will again go over the day and pass out driving directions.  Sunday we will drive through the mountains back to home.  The reverse of past two years, we will drive up from Banning thru Idyllwild and Mountain Center, continue thru Anza and Warner Springs.

For lodging, it is up to you to make your own arrangements.  The main hotel will be the Holiday Inn Express and Suites at Cathedral City, 36101 Date Palm Dr, Cathedral City, CA 92234.  Reservations can be made through their website or Hotels.com.  There is no group code or reservation number.  If rooms are unavailable, please look for nearby hotels.
