Lovely, peaceful, lots of desert native plants and animals. A good place to visit when the weather is not too hot, or go first thing in the morning in hotter months. Lots of activities from December through March.

Good hiking along native palm trees, several different trails offer variety and challenge depending on time and skill. Especially nice if there has been any rain at all during the winter months. The area (like all of Coachella Valley) is very hot in the summer, if intending to hike then - bring copious amounts of water and a mobile phone will full charge.

Interesting history about the estate created by the founder of TV Guide and former ambassador Walter Annenberg. There are two sections, one is free and you can walk around nine acres of over 50 species of arid landscape plants, perfectly groomed, surrounding a visitor center. The other section is reservation only and charges >$100. Recommend calling before driving over there as the hours seem unpredictable.

Shopping
Often referred to as the "Rodeo Dr." of the desert, El Paseo offers boutiques, upscale retail chains (Saks 5th Ave, etc.), plenty of restaurants and nightlife. There is artwork up and down the street that changes every year. If you visit in October, you may catch the Golf Cart Parade. Also fun just people watching from behind that cup of Starbucks.

If you're into points, this grocery store chain is also Kroger's. There is a nice selection of organic and other fresh foods. The store layout is pleasant, and is good for major shopping or just going in for one or two things. Adjacent to Ralphs is a Walgreen's on one corner, a Rite-Aid on another corner, and across the street there is a CVS. This location of Ralphs also offers gasoline.
