Find Your Sustainable Oasis

Visitors come to Greater Palm Springs from all over the world to experience some of the planet’s most striking natural wonders: lush palm groves nestled amid rocky gorges, crystal-clear waterfalls gushing from ancient canyons, pine-spotted mountain peaks rising above sandy washes. But how we travel is just as important as why we travel, and Greater Palm Springs offers plenty of ways for visitors to enjoy the destination sustainably.

Stay at an eco-friendly resort or hotel like Two Bunch Palms (which has its own solar farm!). Dine at farm-to-table restaurants or shop at local farmers markets. Visit attractions that actively work to preserve habitats and restore plant and animal populations, such as The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens. You can even connect with the area's history and culture during a ranger-led hike in the Indian Canyons. Together, destinations and travelers can make sustainability and cultural preservation a priority and help safeguard our wide-open spaces and natural resources so they remain accessible for generations to come.
