Coachella Beauty?

[closer03]

Would you consider Coachella to be in a nice area? As in like landscape and things like that. I was checking out Sasquach and it looks amazing! Coachella looked kinda lame.

take me on...

lol. I don't know what the gorge looks like, but coachella is absolutely beautiful, you are on soft green grass surrounded by palm trees and mountains and blue skies. And when the sun sets its absolutely breathtaking the sunsets are so colorful the mountains turn purple and they light up the palm trees there's nothing like it.

coachella is very open, with mountains on the horizon. ultimately you have to remember you're in the middle of the desert. it is beautiful, though. as for the gorge, it is hands down the most beautiful venue i've ever been to in my life, so i feel the comparison is pointless.

i dont have a opinion on the other venue, but i think coachella is the GREAT especially once the sun hides behind the mountain -clapping- i can't wait! the only downside is everyyear the area before the gates is all dusty and you are stuck there waiting in line with a few thousand other hot, sweaty, complaining people...

I've been to both venues several times and both have their own unique charms.

Coachella is set in a vast grass plane in the middle of a dusty desert. There are beautiful mountains off to the west whose beauty becomes even more apparent at sunset. Palm trees set off the views in all directions and of course the warm California sun shines bright all day long. Traveling from parking lot to campground to venue are all pretty much upon a flat field.

Sasquatch at the Gorge is set in a huge natural amphitheater on the edge of a cliff, high above the Columbia River. The views are stunning all day long. Being on the side of a cliff naturally necessitates a bit more hiking up and down hills but it does afford some acoustic isolation between stages. The weather is usually dry and hot like Coachella but, as seen last year, freak storms do occur.

Both are beautiful venues and both have their own quirks. I attend both every year but I couldn't recommend one over the other. Pick the one that has the music you want to see most and if it's within your means I'd recommend you visit both.

But are there little fluffy clouds?

I've seen them at the Gorge but not at Coachella yet...

I thought this was going to be a thread about sweat-proof makeup. I was excited about that.

That said, I think there is something extremely beautiful about the sun setting behind palm trees in the polo fields. It's definitely a particular sort of desert beauty. But you get the sunset turning the sky all these beautiful colors, and the distant mountains and the palm trees, and the one of most amazing musical experiences you'll have all year -- that's pretty beautiful to me.

I think the beauty in Coachella is in the weather. It's warm and sunny, not miserable, wet, and cold. And I'd rather be too hot than too cold.

watch the coachella dvd. if that doesn't give you a sense of the festival's beauty, i don't know what would.
