Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway—the world’s largest rotating tram car—travels over two-and-one-half miles along the cliffs of Chino Canyon, transporting visitors to the pristine wilderness of the Mt. San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness Area. During this ten-minute journey, tram cars rotate slowly, offering spectacular vistas of the valley below.
Upon arrival at Mountain Station, elevated at an astounding 8,516 feet, indulge yourself in the attractions offered. Enjoy the views from a different perspective from the observation decks or embark on one of the 50 miles of hiking trails available.
There are two featured restaurants on the Mountain, Peaks Restaurant and Pines Café. Peaks restaurant is the more upscale, fine dining option overlooking Coachella Valley. Pines cafe is a more relaxed, cafeteria-style restaurant that offers food packages with the rides. In the same location is the Lookout Lounge which is a full cocktail bar to compliment whatever meal you choose.
Later, make sure to head over to the natural history museum or the documentary theaters to catch up on the background of the area. Before the descent back down the scenic valley, make sure to check out the gift shop to pick up any souvenirs that you would like to remember the experience.
