Old Las Palmas, Palm Springs, California, USA

March 19, 2022

We drove down to Palm Springs for the weekend. Unfortunately, due to the infamous LA traffic, a trip that would normally take two hours, took over four. Once there, we explored the town and neighboring canyons. Our first walk was through the Old Las Palmas neighborhood. The neighborhood dates back to the mid 1920’s and over the years has been the home of numerous celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Lucille Ball, Kirk Douglas, Liberace and Elizabeth Taylor. There were many beautiful homes, although most were hidden behind high hedges, walls and ornate gates.
