We are taking a girls weekend trip to Palm Desert, California! Brittanie and Kim and joined by Deja and the Chelseas for a trip to remember. Everyone loves a good girls getaway! You’ve probably heard of Palm Springs and Coachella Valley, but there is so much more to this area than music festivals. Desert life is different, definitely a place to be seen and experienced!

W talk about:

• Hiking in Joshua Tree National Park
• Digging our own $0.59 cacti at Cactus Mart
• A sketchy stay at Red Roof Inn in Palm Desert
• Hiking the Painted Canyon Ladder Trail (so cool!!)
• International Banana Museum
• Salton Sea
• Salvation Mountain
• Slab City, East Jesus
