A really nice lake to relax and unwind, fish, or kayak/paddle board/etc.
There is a pavilion on the lake where there is a small cafe, and you can rent paddle boats or row boats.
There is also a water slide park on one end of the lake with a small beach, a dog park, another beach with restrooms, and plenty of parking. You will have to pay for parking with the ParkMobile app. All day parking costs about $7 or $8.
There are grocery stores and restaurants close by, too.
Cliffs of Moher
2024 May 16
An amazing sight that you must visit when you are in Ireland!
It’s fairly easy to find by car, and there is plenty of parking available.
The visitors center has a large display on the geological history of the Cliiffs that includes a 4D video experience. There is a cafe and coffee shop, as well as plenty of restrooms in the center.
We spent about 2 hours here walking around and enjoying the displays, etc.
Plan for a longer stay if you plan to hike the trails along the cliffs. They are several kilometers long, and you can walk all the way to Doolin, if you like.
Vida Vegan Bistro
2024 Apr 09
We really enjoyed this vegan restaurant in Cusco!
It is now one of our favorites, and we have been to Cusco many times.
We enjoyed sitting on the small balcony (only 3 person capacity) while having dinner and watching the people go by.
Service was fairly prompt and friendly, but our waitress spoke no English. The menu was in Spanish and English, though, so we were able to order without any problems.
The food was presented beautifully, and was absolutely delicious.
Prices were moderate.
They have no alcohol on the menu, so be prepared to get your drinks elsewhere.
We will definitely recommend this restaurant to our vegan and vegetarian friends!
One of the best golf courses in south Palm Springs, for sure! Absolute breathtaking views of the mountains to help you relax while you play!
It’s a popular course, so be sure to book your tee time online.
They have rental clubs available, if you are just visiting town.
They have a really great driving range and practice greens to use prior to play for an $8 fee.
They have a great bar and restaurant at the South Course clubhouse, but also another one at the North Course. The South Course restaurant has a much better menu, and has outdoor patio seating with great views. It is very popular for that reason.
The South Course is definitely my favorite, but costs a little more. The North Course is a bit tighter, but is also in great shape and a great course to play.
Add it to your list of courses to try in Palm Springs!
Supertree Observatory

We visited the Super Tree forest at night, but just missed the light show that started at 8:45, other than what we could see and hear from a short distance away. We returned the next night to see the light and music show in its entirety and we were happy that we did!
Be sure to arrive a little early if you want a seat, or just take a blanket (as many do) to lie flat on the ground to stare up at the lights.
They have the light shows with music every night at 7:45 and 8:45 and you can walk into the Meadows area to watch the show with no entry fee.
Definitely see it during the day, and at night.
