The top 11 Questions most asked by Visitors to Palm Springs

11. How do I get to the Marriot?
Many people exit at Hwy 111 coming from LA. To reach the Marriot you need to exit at Cook Street about 15 miles down the freeway.

10. How far is Joshua Tree Park?
About 45 minutes to an hour. Leave Palm Springs going north on Indian Canyon and continue for about 15 miles, crossing interstate 10. Indian Canyon will dead end at route 62, turn right and continue to Joshua Tree, then follow the signs.

9. Where is the tram?
Continue up the private road in front of the Visitor's Center for about 4 miles. You will come to the tram station, buy the tickets there. The tram goes every half hour and costs $21.95 for adults until 3 PM then price is reduced to $18.95.

8. Is it always this windy?
Yes, the pass going west to Los Angeles is one of the windiest places in the world. That's why they put the windmills there.

Yes, we sell it for $5.00 at the Visitor's Center. It is produced by the Palm Springs Modernism Committee.
