A study in contrasts between the tamed and wild of Palm Desert -- the amount of sprinklers going off in the middle of the day made my blood pressure rise. But a tour of The Living Desert opened my eyes to the sculptural treasures of the desert. While some are used to great effect in town, lush green grass is definitely king here.
I left Palm Desert via HW 74, the Palms to Pines Highway, and as I climbed the landscape changed every few miles. I made it to Idyllwild, an hour by car, but a world of difference, and will post pictures of that landscape next.
