From Los Angeles, take Interstate 10 East towards Phoenix. Palm Springs is about a two hour drive if there is not much traffic. Beware, weekend getaway traffic can be very heavy.
Palm Springs is a very car-oriented city. You may have trouble getting around if you don't have a car. Rent a car at the airport, or if you want to splurge, numerous limousine services are available, including West Coast Transportation, Cardiff Limousine and A-1 Sahara Limo.
The main drag through this area is Highway 111 and S. Palm Canyon Drive. Highway 111 runs east-west along the mountain side and connects all the cities in the Palm Springs area. This road has lights and lots of traffic, so if you are going far, you should drive out and hop on Interstate 10. S. Palm Drive is always busy and is hard to find a parking place on the weekends and at night. You should try to park on one of the side roads if possible.
Palm Springs and the surrounding environs are mostly flat and dry and can be very conducive to bicycling. There are numerous options available for renting bikes in Palm Springs.
