Many may remember Palm Springs as a resort town where Hollywood stars used to hang out and while that is no longer the case Palm Springs still offers some great desert scenery and upscale resort atmosphere that made it famous in the first place. For the outdoor enthusiast there are a few parks that you will not want to forget when traveling in Palm Springs. Although all of the parks that call Palm Springs home are amazing, each are different in their own way in regards to what they offer. One park may be canyon country filled with exclusive hiking trails with lush beauty, set amid desolate landscape that is simply hard to conceive unless you go and see it for yourself.

Mount San Jacinto is a national park in Palm Springs and has the second highest mountain range in Southern California. This park has exquisite granite peaks, subalpine forests, and fern-bordered mountain meadows so there is ample opportunity to explore and enjoy a scenic, high-country wilderness area. The park offers two drive-in campgrounds near the town of Idyllwild. Most of the park is a designated wilderness area enjoyed by hikers and backpackers. To ensure the preservation of the natural environment and assure the visitor of a quality visitor experience, the Department of Parks and Recreation has instituted a wilderness permit system; everyone entering the wilderness area for the day or for camping must have a permit in their possession. Day use wilderness permits are free and are available at the State Park Headquarters in Idyllwild or at the Long Valley Ranger Station. Applications for overnight permits will be accepted up to 56 days (8 weeks) in advance.
