STARGAZING IN GREATER PALM SPRINGS

EXPERIENCE THE NIGHT SKIES 

Since the 1920s, Greater Palm Springs has been a favorite escape for some of Hollywood's biggest stars, but it’s also a stellar setting for stargazing of another kind. Two International Dark Sky Parks (Joshua Tree National Park and Borrego Springs) are located within an hour's drive from Greater Palm Springs and offer unbelievably beautiful views of the night sky.

Camping in Joshua Tree
Pitch a tent and escape the city lights in Joshua Tree National Park, home to several first-come, first-serve campsites and some of the best dark night skies in the country. Nothing says chill like sleeping under a blanket of twinkling stars (s’mores, please!) surrounded by fantastical rock formations and rows of twisted, whimsical-looking trees.
