          Palm Springs is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to! There are humongous rocks but no green grass. There are not many flowers at all, although there are lots of dry hiking trails. There are a few beautiful views from the tops of some hiking trails. I haven’t seen a beach so I don’t think there are any beaches.

I think every time I go there I should bring a hat and a swimsuit. Next time I will bring a sleeveless shirt.There are usually a few puffy clouds so the air smells moist. Sometimes I can see different shapes made by the clouds. There are steep cliffs to hike up. The hot weather makes it hard to hike. The nice cold pools feel very relaxing with a cold smoothie. At night there are lots of crickets and warm air all around. Nighttime is beautiful because it is very easy to see the stars. It was the best trip ever!
