Palm Springs: From the desert to the (Salton) sea by bike
Temperatures in Southern California deserts have finally dropped (and really, it took awhile), which means it’s the ideal time for some outdoor play. Road-bike tour company Undiscovered Country in Los Altos, Calif., offers a bicycle tour that visits Palm Springs, the Salton Sea and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
The six-day Warm Winter Bike Tour starts in Palm Springs with a warm-up ride and a night at the plush Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells. Cyclists take off for Borrego Springs, which becomes a base for bike rides to the Salton Sea, the Anza-Borrego badlands and other areas. Daily mileage varies from 25 miles to 66 miles.
Date: Trips depart Dec. 27, Feb. 17 and March 10.
Price: $2,190 per person, double occupancy ($487 for single supplement). It includes a road bike, lodging, breakfasts and dinners as well as snacks, tour leaders, a support vehicle and bike repairs. Transportation to Palm Springs and from Indian Wells is extra.
