Day 1: Arrive, get settled in, and visit downtown Palm Springs. Check out all the amazing photo opportunities here.
Day 2: Since you still might be waking up early being on West Coast time, use that early wake up to drive to Joshua Tree National Park.
Day 3: Spend the first half of your day hiking or exploring Lower Palm Canyon Trail. This is highly recommended!
Later in the afternoon or evening, visit and experience the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Plan to have dinner at Mountain Station. This attraction is also highly recommended!
Day 4: Visit Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. You could also do the Aerial Tramway today if you haven't done it already.
Day 5: If you have time visit the Palm Springs Air Museum and/or downtown again before your departure.
