I went for one day trip to Palm Springs from my home in Playa Del Rey. Palm Springs is about 2h drive from Los Angeles and it is a place where desert meets the mountains. At the ground level it is very hot while up in the mountains it is cool. While the temperature in the desert was over 30C (in first few days of April) in the mountain region at an elevation of about 3000m snow didn't completely melt yet. I hiked in the Indian canyon and went up using the Palm Springs Tramway.
