Stopping in Palm Springs/Joshua Tree tomorrow. if there was one part of joshua tree and/or palm springs (other than coffee bean, we have that down) that you found worthwhile to stop at pls let me know (need to be in Scottsdale Sunday night, so have little time). dont think its worth it to do the full 2 hour drive through joshua tree, but unsure. also, is there no cell service for long stretches still?

ATV riding. The tram. Airplane museum. The living desert zoo. There are walking trails on the south end of Palm Springs.

Has anyone stayed at the Ritz in Rancho Mirage? I'm curious if this is a good area and if it's worth going here vs staying around Chabad.

Thanks!

I am going next week to PS for the first time and I booked 3 hotels/villas and I need some help to decide which one to keep .

1) Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages

2) The Westin Mission Hills Resort Villas

3) Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa

I will not be there for shabbos so I don't have to be close to a minyen . any advice would be appreciated , TIA
