For those looking for a little less adventure and a little more R&R, this desert town is your spot.
The warm climate is perfectly suited for golf, swimming, tennis, horseback riding and hiking. The less sports-minded can browse the boutiques downtown, ride the aerial tramway through Chino Canyon or take a driving tour of the mid-century mansions where Clark Gable, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and Ginger Rogers all lived.
From Chicago's O'Hare Airport to Palm Springs Municipal: $1,341 per person, person, including taxes, airfare and three nights at the four-star Riviera Palm Springs.
