For a quick meal, you can't beat El Ranchito for a crispy chicken taco. That's my favorite but you know it's good when you have Mexican family enjoying the food as well.

We love to hike in the San Jacintos Mountains. The tram takes you up to 8,000 ft then you can start hiking from there. There are amazing views and a restaurant at the top of the tram if you get hungry. This is a great summer escape. Take a chair and a book and get out of the heat. In the winter, it's cold so dress appropriately.

It's a UFO thing. The history is pretty interesting and pictures are a must. Keep in mind you need to off-road to get to the rock and it's worth it.

Right around the corner is Walter Annenberg's estate.
Annenberg was an American businessman, investor, philanthropist, and diplomat. He owned and operated Triangle Publications, which included ownership of The Philadelphia Inquirer, TV Guide, Essence, Seventeen magazine, and many others.
Make reservations to tour his home or just visit his adjacent property called Sunnylands. The gardens are spectacular.

Hiking
Murray Canyon Trail to Seven Falls is a 3.7 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Palm Springs, California that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and horses and is best used from October until March. We have never seen any horses on this trail. I highly recommend bringing plenty of water, a hat for shade and sunscreen with you on any hike in the desert.

The Bump and Grind trail is a good workout and very popular. It's straight uphill with amazing views at the top. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen and a hat.
