The Marriott Shadow Ridge condominium units framed by the San Jacinto Mountains. Approaching the Palm Springs area on Interstate 10 from Los Angeles, you can't miss the sprawling San Gorgonio Pass Wind-farm, with 4,000 huge wind turbines harnessing 650 Megawatts, enough to power 200,000 California homes. The local power company offers the most interesting presentation and tour of a section of the windfarm, for those who want to be up close and personal with these several hundred-feet-tall giant windmills.
