I rode the Tramway this July when it was 110 in the valley and the temperature difference was at least 20 degrees - cool enough for easy hiking at the top. 6000 foot climb in ten minutes - intense but amazing views as Epigonos says! Its a completely different world from the valley - mountain wilderness with evergreens, wildlife, hikes and nature trails, etc.

Just booked 4 nights Fri through Mon at Canyon Club. $89 per night, 4 nights for the price of 3. I had thought about upgrading to a nicer room, but decided there were other things I would prefer to spend money on.

yes, and so does his name

do whatever you want, but the group is so friendly and trusty that some deception might be unusual and strange!.....many introduce themselves with real first names and then their forum handle......others first name only and then, only after some convo, the handle may emerge later......and there are several longtime attendees who already know everyone
 
at my first forum weekend a few years ago, I asked if nametags were used.....I was good-naturedly laughed at because it was explained there would be no place to secure the tag!

Clients, for the most part, use their given names rather than the message center handle. Escorts are a more mixed bag, if their escort name is a "normal" name, such as Tom, Dick or Harry then I found that to be the name used, however if it is not what would be considered "normal" then they they will introduce themselves as Tom, Dick or Harry, which may or may not be their given name. It is left to each individual to introduce themselves by the name they wish to be known as.

I can poke you in the eye upon arrival. May as well just get that out of the way on day 1.

If the tram is a rockin' don't come a knockin'

Mike taking the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway from the desert floor to the top of the mountain is a great idea if you have never done it. I have always wanted to make the trip BUT I am so terrified of heights that just thought of doing it puts me into a cold sweat. If you do take the trip be prepared for a 15 - 20 degree F difference between the desert floor and the mountain top. The views on a clear day are supposed to be wonderful.

Mike you can always call Steven. He is well known for picking up men all over town.

I just booked my room at INNdulge from Thursday, 4/12 to Tuesday, 4/17. There's a chance I may arrive 1 day earlier and/or stay a day later. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!

Each year the number of participants keeps increasing -- ain't that great! We are now at a point where none of the gay resorts would be large enough to house us all. TruthBTold is absolutely correct about the fact that these resorts are all very different and thus appeal to different guests. For example The Hacienda in Warm Springs and the Canyon Club are totally different. Price can also be a factor the Hacienda in Warm Springs is in the $350 a night range while the Canyon Club is in the $150 dollar range.

Hey Mo of course you are invited. Some stay Thursday through Sunday, some stay Friday through Monday and some even stay for a full week -- whatever floats your boat. All Oliver and his staff ask is that you cum prepared to have a great time.

It's on my calendar and I plan to be there! Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting some new ones.

I am booked at Indulge

PALM SPRINGS GAY RESORTS
2018
 
Oliver has decided that the Palm Springs Weekend this year will be held on April 14th and 15th. That weekend will also be the first weekend of the Coachella Festival. Beyonce has already announced that she will be performing after having to cancel last year. Her appearance means that rooms in Palm Springs will be even more difficult to book as time passes.
I highly recommend that if you are even remotely considering attending the Palm Springs Weekend you book a room as soon as possible. If later you decide that you will be unable to attend you can simply cancel your reservation. With this in mind I am providing the following list of gay resorts you might consider booking. I have divided the resorts into three price groups: 1.) Moderate, 2.) Moderately Expensive, and 3.) Expensive. I have recently visited ALL of the facilities listed below. They are all clothing optional, escort friendly and are all listed on tripadvisor. I have included each sites street address, web address and a few personal comments.
