Why Desert Hot Springs? Desert Hot Springs is a vibrant, growing, and innovative City that represents California's legacy of exploration and discovery. Desert Hot Springs is named for its many natural hot springs. It is one of few places in the world with naturally occurring hot and cold mineral springs. Desert Hot Springs is home to the largest collection of warm mineral springs in the United States.
Like many of its neighboring city’s, Desert Hot Springs continues to see an explosion in population. Drawn by its affordable family living, Desert Hot Springs is a young, vibrant community that is on the move. In addition to world-famous resorts, the community was an early adopter of the cannabis industry that continues to grow the local economy. The planned Tyson’s Ranch will be another step forward in the burgeoning industry, offering “luxury glamping” facilities and an entertainment complex including an outdoor performance stage, and a “lazy river” water feature that could be among the longest in the world, snaking around the ranch and taking an hour to float down.
