Palm Springs, California

Palm Springs is a desert resort city in Riverside County, California, in the United States, set within the Colorado Desert in the Coachella Valley. It covers roughly 94 square miles, which makes it the largest city in Riverside County by land area. Parts of the city are laid out in a checkerboard pattern, and more than a tenth of its territory belongs to the reservation of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, whose reservation is the administrative capital of the most populated reservation in California. The 2020 census counted 44,575 residents, but because Palm Springs is a retirement location and a winter destination for seasonal visitors, the population is described as tripling between November and March, with Canadians making up most of those visitors. The city is known for its mid-century modern architecture and design, its arts and cultural scene, and its recreational activities.
