Rancho Mirage
is a prestigious community located in the center of the Coachella Valley, 11 miles from Palm Springs. Rancho Mirage has been called “the Playground of the Presidents,” and has beautiful palm tree lined streets named after such stars as Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and Dinah Shore. Visitors come to Rancho Mirage to take advantage of the 350 days of sunshine each year, and to visit the superb restaurants, theaters, and fine shops, casinos and musical venues the city is known for. Many of Rancho Mirage’s restaurants have won multiple awards, and you will find such choices as American, Italian, Asian, Mexican and Continental cuisine. The annual “Bits & Bites” of Rancho Mirage is an event that allows visitors a chance to sample all the fine restaurants, and is held at various locations throughout the city. The nearby Santa Rosa Mountains provide plenty of opportunities for activities such as hiking, biking and horseback riding. And Rancho Mirage has more golf courses than the neighboring city of Palm Springs! Rancho Mirage is also home to three world-class resorts, Whitewater Park and the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert.

The vast desert region of southern California east of Los Angeles has a typical desert climate. This area, which includes Palm Springs, Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage receives only 15-20 days of rainfall per year for a total of 4.77 inches. The days are mostly sunny and warm and nights are cool from fall through late spring. Summers turn hot to very hot, with occasional high clouds, and warm, balmy evenings May through October. The humidity levels are very low, so even when the mercury climbs to 100 degrees, it feels comfortable in the shade. Keep in mind that temperatures are 30-40 degrees lower at the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and in the Alpine community of Idyllwild.
