Mid-century desert glamour
A retro-chic desert oasis of mid-century modern architecture, poolside resorts, palm-lined golf, and a dramatic aerial tramway to alpine wilderness above the valley.
A car is essential; downtown is walkable.
Ride the rotating tram up 8,500 ft — it can be 30°F cooler with pine forest at the top.
Generally safe — exercise normal travel awareness.
Retro cocktail lounges and rooftop bars downtown.
