Beat the Heat
Greater Palm Springs has
more pools per capita than
anywhere else in the world.
California, Desert
Joshua Tree National Park:
There are nearly 800,000
acres (324,000 hectares) to explore. Marvel at the
unearthly, namesake trees (above). (:50)
Hollywood Walk of Fame:
Whether you’re a Sylvester
Stallone or Bruce Willis guy, think Marilyn Monroe or
Jean Harlow is the more tragic American actress, or just
want to see Britney Spears’ star (we know, for your
daughter), get your camera ready. (2:00)
Salton Sea State Recreation Area:
The surface of this
lake is 227 feet (70 meters) below sea level.That makes
it one of the lowest places on Earth. While you’re here,
enjoy some bird-watching, boating, and fishing. (1:00)
If you’re drawn to Palm Springs’ golf options …
with more than
20 area golf courses, a
Hilton Head, South Carolina
, vacation is
anything but simply par. (70)
If you dig the desert’s arts scene …
run, don’t walk to
Sedona,
Arizona
, and its dramatic red-rock landscape. (134)
If you’re fond of that dry heat …
head to
Aruba.
Sure, it’s a
Caribbean island, but leave the beaches and you’ll find a desert-like
climate. One arid, extra-dry must: Arikok National Park. (234)
