What is the best route from Palm Springs to San Diego?

My friends and I drove from Sacramento to Palm Springs for the weekend, but we’re not quite ready to go home just yet! We want to hit up San Diego first. What’s the best route there?

Wow, what an epic trip! The best route from
Palm Springs
to
San Diego
is to take I-217 S and I-15 S for most of the way. The trip will take about two to two and a half hours.
Let’s break down the trip in greater detail!
  • You’ll want to start on I-10 W.
  • Then merge onto CA-60 W.
  • Then take I-217 S toward San Diego for about 30 miles.
  • Then merge onto I-15 S and stay on it for about 50 miles.
  • Follow signs for San Diego.
