Palm Springs
Palm Springs, located in the Coachella Valley, is characterized by striking topography shaped by both the Colorado Desert and surrounding mountain ranges. The city lies at an average elevation of around 480 feet (146 meters) above sea level. To the west, the San Bernardino Mountains rise dramatically, with peaks such as Mount San Jacinto reaching over 10,800 feet (3,292 meters), offering a sharp contrast to the valley floor. These mountains provide the area with stunning vistas and are a major factor in the region's climate, contributing to the desert's heat while also forming part of the San Bernardino National Forest. The desert landscape itself features sandy terrain interspersed with rocky outcrops, and the valley floor gradually slopes downward towards areas like the Salton Sea to the southeast, which sits far below sea level.
