This is for all you Mid-Century Modern lovers out there. The Kaufmann name came from Edgar J. Kaufmann he was a Pittsburgh Department Store Tycoon.

In fact it is private. You will see a no trespassing sign with armed alert. So whatever you do take pictures outside of the property. I cannot put other website links on this site. But do some research on this awesome house.

We visited around 12 PM 5/26/26 after driving almost two hours to hike at Tahquitz Falls and…read moreunfortunately the experience at the front desk completely changed the energy of the day before we even started the hike. When you first walk up there was a sign saying each person needs 40 oz of water We all had water bottles with us, including one 132 oz bottle, and we were simply asking about the water rule because we had visited before and never saw the 40 oz sign. Instead of explaining it politely, the older lady at the front desk immediately came off rude and dismissive. She questioned whether our bottle was actually full and said things like, "Do you not see the sign outside?" and "Are you not from the desert?" Not everyone is from the desert ,we drove a long way to visit and were genuinely just asking a question. After we paid $15 per person, my dad jokingly commented that the water rule was probably also a way to make money. It wasn't said aggressively or offensively at all , he's a sales manager, so his mind naturally thinks that way. But she completely snapped and told us we could get thrown out for saying that and that we needed to basically watch our mouths. The reaction felt extremely unnecessary and honestly like a power trip threatening to not be able to hike after we have already paid and for just making a comment about water . We fully understand there are rules and likely important safety reasons we had no push back behind the water policy, especially in the heat, but there's a huge difference between educating visitors respectfully and speaking to them with attitude. We walked in excited, smiling, and happy for the hike, and the interaction immediately ruined the vibes for all of us. The hike and land itself are beautiful and meaningful, which is why it's disappointing that this was our first impression. I don't think the people of the sacred land would want that kind of energy representing the experience for visitors coming for the first time. absolutely beautiful hike would go again other than the service.

Absolutely love Integratron and I've been here a handful of times now. If you are staying anywhere…read morein the desert down here this is worth adding to your list of places to visit. From La Quinta it's a good one hour + drive but definitely worth it! If your staying in Palm Springs proper or Joshua Tree much closer, regardless though worth it! Integratron essentially is a sound bath experience but in one of the coolest and best acoustic domes. I'll let the staff give you the history but it was very cool about learning how this place came to be and the intention behind it and land the dome sits on. This is a family owned business which makes it even more special. Three sisters own it and all of the family helps to run this space one way or another. On the day we came different cousins were sharing the duties. Love a local family run and operated space! Before starting the sound bath it's nice to explore the grounds, relax and they even have a gift shop. Nice bathrooms and plenty of parking. The system here is organized and seamless. Very great communication and guidance here. Make sure to pay attention to your emails before you come because they give great tips - like to bring blankets, dress in layers etc. As others have shared. The first 15-30 minutes is essentially going over rules, tips and history before they get started with the meditation/sound bath. I appreciate that they take everyone safety seriously and want everyone to have a joyful experience so they make sure to talk you through the do's and donts. The sound bath itself was relaxing and very soothing. The cushioned mats were premium and much nicer than I had remembered in the past. Very comfortable and nice temperature inside the dome. My only wish is that the sound bath piece was slightly longer but all in all it's a relaxing and unique experience. Would highly recommend that everyone come at least once.

Why would anyone support a business that required everyone to be FULLY vaxxed to even enter the…read moreproperty?! Even a partial jab when you were waiting for your second or third dose wouldn't let you into their property! Flash forward to now and the truth is all coming out! Fauci plead the 5th over 100x, his diary revels so much about his intentions to harm humanity, etc. The owners of the Integratron are NOT scientists. They're family members that inhereted the Integratron and turned away those of us that refused to have an UN-TESTED mRNA vaxx full of sp!ke proteins (that was never tested in clinical trials) injected into us. How many vaxxed have suddenly perished? How many are now walking around with severe cardiac disease and other major health problems?! How many millions wish they could go back in time and not take it?! These family members that operate the Integratron are not even contactees that work directly with Pleidaians, Acturians, etc. If anything, they support Project 2025 and the dark agenda. Plus that crazy steep ladder they make you climb up is very difficult to maneuver and dangerous. Why can't they just create a more normal looking staircase that's much more functional and not so risky? The staircase they have now has large, open steps (similar to a ladder) with the steps spaced too far apart. It's difficult to use unless you're younger and in perfect health. Seniors, anyone with any type of mobility issue or disability is going to struggle and potentially fall and injure themselves getting up into the main area. Last, you never know who you're going to get. If you get a male who's doing the sound bath then prepare for it to be extremely loud and aggressive, to the point you need ear plugs and it's not relaxing. It's disturbing. Typically the female sound bath engineers play a more softer, enjoyable sound bath that helps you get into meditation better. There's no way of knowing who you're going to get, it's all just random.

You can tell because there's a large yellow banner over his windshield that says "BONSAI." He told us the ages of all the trees he has. Some are as old as 15 years old! You ever heard that Chinese proverb that says the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago (the second best time being now)? Well this guy heeded that advice. He planted all these little trees years ago and now finally getting some dividend! We bought two that are about 7 years old. The price is dependent on the age. He gave us a deal for getting more than one, albeit reluctantly. He asked my husband if he was oriental when I was out of earshot, and said I must've picked him because he looked Asian. (He's not, but he is perhaps correct about the other point.) I couldn't really understand his instructions for caring for them, other than "put rain on it." I'll have to Google actual instructions. But I'm really glad we picked up bonsai trees from this bonsai guy. I'll remember him for as long as I can keep our trees alive!

You can never go wrong with the tram up to the top of the mountain. The summer is intense if you…read morehaven't been to Palm Springs. I love the heat and being poolsides but sometimes a change in good. Also it's a must do if it's your first time to Palm Springs. It's at the beginning of town before you get to downtown. If you're coming in from the 10 onto the 111, it'll be your first right when you start to enter the city. You won't miss it with the sign to your right and the Palm Springs signs coming in. It's a couple miles drive up to the security gate to check in. We got the season pass so that helps with the parking. Parking is 15.00 I believe per car but with the season pass, it covers it. Attended will normally tell you which lot to park your car. If it's busy, they do have a good amount of lots but you'll be a bit further from the tram. There's trolleys that come often to pick up people instead of walking up the hill. Tickets can be purchase via online or in person at the counter. Trams run every 15 min both up and down. If you purchase your tickets online, be sure to be a little earlier for the departure time or else you'll have to be on standby for the next one. It takes about 10 minutes or so to the top. Every spot on the tram is great as it rotates the whole way up so getting that perfect picture will be a cinch. Top of the tram has a restaurant, a cafeteria, a bar, museum, gift shops and observation deck. Lockers and restrooms are also available. But if hiking is what you're looking for, you've come to the right place. That what we love to do when we're here and the season pass is perfect. Unlimited visit and free parking. Plus 10 percent off at bar and restaurant. We've done a few hikes here but never had the chance to check out hidden lake. Oh, there's a short walk down the path to where the hikes and ranger stations are. Nature is beautiful so you should check it out. Anyone hiking or camping needs to fill out a permit at the ranger station. It ask for your information incase anything happens while you're out. Once you finished the hike, drop off your copy at the mailbox and you're done. As we're doing the loop hike, a permit is needed for that. But adding the hidden lake, a separate permit is also needed for that . It's limited and only available on certain days. We were told that the lake is dry as it's the summer season but the view is spectacular. Regardless of what hike you do, they're all amazing. With hidden lake, ranger do show you some pictures as a cut off as there's no sign to guide you. Once there, it would have been beautiful to actually see it with water. There's a fence that restricts people from crossing over to the lake or a fine will be given incase. Lake itself isn't that massive but if you continue on the trail and cross over the little bridge, the view is what makes the hike. Just standing there and taking it all in was amazing. Looking down to the valley but being so high up was just something you don't get to do often, for some people. The benefit of the tram, you get to beat the heat of the valley. It's a good 20/30 degrees cooler on top. A nice restaurant for dinner when sunset happens. Not sure you could catch it as it maybe covered with the mountains. It's a fun place to spend the day out hiking. You can camp or spend the afternoon lounging at the observation deck with a drink in hand and enjoy the scenery. A cute little picnic down the path to the mountain. It's a place that's worth checking out whenever you're in Palm Springs.

The drive up to the parking lot and visitors center is quite a journey. There's almost nothing around as you begin to drive up the incline to the parking lot. When you make it to the gate, I was so perplexed with how this tram is going to make it up such a steep incline. Welp, the tram ride is quicker than I anticipated but it was still very enjoyable to see the amazing views of the Coachella Valley. The platform slowly rotates so you'll have the chance to get a full 360 view. It was very crowded on the way up but sparse on the way down. We did the short trail loop once we arrived on the top of Mt San Jacinto. The hike is easy and fun to explore. There are longer, more technical routes but for us, the shorter 30 minute hike was all we needed. I would definitely recommend the tramway for anyone looking to get away from the heat. If you're a fan of Huell like I am, then this is a must.
