Coachella Valley Travel Guides

When to visit, where to stay, and what the valley looks like beyond the festival grounds.

The valley runs hot in summer and fills up fast in spring. These guides cover the practical stuff: when to come, which town to base yourself in, and what a vacation rental gets you that a hotel doesn't.
