The following are a few activities and experiences that are well worth adding to your itinerary when Spring Break travel plans bring you this way.
Enjoy Some Friendly Competition on the Court

Head Out and Explore Nature from Your Place on the Local Trails
Spring Break in La Quinta is a beautiful time of year to pack your bag, lace up your boots, grab some water, and explore the stunning local trails. Many hiking enthusiasts would agree that a great place to set your sights if you have to narrow down the list is La Quinta Cove. This hiking area is popular among locals and visitors alike for its variety of trails that can be selected to suit your skill level. Experienced hikers might want to go for the Boo Hoff trail which spans 9 miles of terrain with both distance and elevation challenges to conquer. A wonderful route for intermediate hikers is the Bear Creek Oasis trail which is 4 miles long and comes with a 2,000-foot climb in total.

The trails are also meticulously maintained and offer up great opportunities to learn more about local history and wildlife along the way.
Grab the Golf Clubs and Enjoy Time on the Greens
If your idea of the perfect getaway includes as many tee times on the itinerary as possible, La Quinta is a destination designed just for you. While there are plenty of top-rated golf courses to enjoy during a Spring Break stay, the course at SilverRock Resort has a way of sticking with golfers long after they’ve returned home. The SilverRock Resort golf course is owned by the City of La Quinta and managed by Landmark Golf Management. It’s an inviting yet challenging 7,239 yard course which spans 200 acres of gorgeous terrain. When you’re hoping to put your skills to work, you’ll be delighted to find that this Arnold Palmer-designed course is home to not only eye-catching water features, but massive bunkers as well. From the Santa Rosa Mountain backdrop to the meticulously maintained grounds, it’s a place you just might find you return to a time or two during your stay.
Spend time Shopping Local
Hanging out in Old Town La Quinta is a fun thing to do anytime you’re here but if Spring Break calls you this way, you’ll be right on time to catch the end of farmers market season.
