Surrounded by four mountain ranges, Palm Springs is one of Southern California's most popular weekend destinations and the ultimate desert resort oasis. The area comprises nine cities — Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella — each with its unique style and attraction for legions of followers.
There are 25 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the US. Photos show these incredible locations, from active volcanoes to cliff dwellings.

UNESCO lists stunning natural and man-made sites around the world that it considers worth protecting for their cultural, historic, or scientific significance.
The list includes world-famous locations such as India's Taj Mahal and Peru's Machu Picchu, but it also includes many sites across the US.
Some are already widely known and act as big tourist attractions, while others are not as celebrated. And in September, another was added: Ohio's Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks — mounds created by Native Americans thousands of years ago — was named the 25th UNESCO World Heritage Site in the US.
The sites can suffer from over-tourism, and the organization has backed the idea of "sustainable tourism," encouraging those who visit the sites to leave them untouched. It also urges visitors to listen to those who manage the sites if they express concerns about overcrowding or ask people to stay in certain areas.
There are 25 UNESCO sites in the US, including in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska. Check them all out below.
