Los Angeles Palm Springs from my first trip to Southern California in March 1969 as a teenager. I took this squatting in the street for visual effect with a Pentax 35mm SLR. Lots of 1960s (and classic 1950s) iron to enjoy, but darned if I remember what street this is! View full size.

Palm Springs It Is

You are correct! I traveled to Palm Springs and took the tramway to the mountain top. I previously posted a shot of the parking lot there overlooking Palm Springs with a lot full of Corvettes. I also posted a shot of the then-new Boeing 737 at the John Wayne airport in "Air California" livery before a flight to San Francisco (that was the cryptic "New Boeing 737 - 1969" reference in my text).

Palm Springs?

Someone linked this to a Facebook California history group where several people have said this is in Palm Springs, specifically on Palm Canyon Drive. That street, which today is also three lanes one way, intersects with Amado Road, which appears to be what the green street sign at the left reads. Did you go to Palm Springs on this trip?
