Why Palm Spring-ing in fall?

The perfect time to visit this sunny city is believed to be from January to April, which comes along with the foreseeable unavailability of rooms, if yes, with very high prices. 

Not joining the bulk, we suggest you give Palm Springs a chance around October to December, when the weather is decent and it is a high chance to spend your nights in a wonderful room with a much more pleasing price.

The temperature in this period ordinarily reaches its peak at around 90 degrees in October and could chill down at nearby 45 degrees on the coldest days around year-end. You may even be found putting on your shorts under the sun in the morning, and holding tight onto a jacket during a chilly night walk by the beach. Taking advantage of this unique kind of weather, here are 5 fascinating activities we suggest giving a shot.

Sunbathing

Sunbathing under the sunshine because why not! It seems to be a must-have experience for any Palm Springs traveller to lie down and get tanned by the nature. 

All you got to do is to pick a cool spot by the pool, never forget your sunscreen protection, put on sunglasses and be ready to soak your full body into the glow. There are no limitations, but we suggest you start at 8 a.m and do not stay in that comfy spot later than 4 p.m falling asleep since it would get cooler in the evening.

Go hiking
