The Nest....what to say about The Nest. Well it's surprisingly become one of the nightlife hot spots, outside of Palm Springs which has much more to offer. You will see a mixture of white-haired folks in addition to local kids. This Palm Desert bar is notorious for it's older ladies trying to get younger men, but overall the place is a hoot if you're trying to experience some nightlife without making the drive to Palm Springs.

This is a trailhead with multiple hikes. Our favorite is the one to Lake Cahuilla. Some sand at the beginning then turns to rock. About eight miles, there and back, with only small elevation gain. Bring lots of water as there is no shade. We have seen herds of Big Horn sheep during certain times of the year.
