Be prepared for long waits. 2 1/2hours unless you have a restaurant reservation. The crowd was almost gone by 2:30. So better to go later. Beautiful views!

The views were pretty amazing, indeed! Our youngest daughter just had an issue with her popping ears going back down to where we had parked our car. Actually, we both did! But, other than that, it all went well! The snow up on the San Jacinto Mountain made our experience more memorable.

Very strange way to reserve tickets. Instead of selling tickets for a specific time, I bought tickets via apple pay for a day without a time range. Our flight departs at five in the afternoon so if we got to the tram by noon it shouldn’t be a problem, right? Wrong. We got up there and a three to four hour wait was posted…we went down to Palm Springs for lunch rather than potentially miss our flight. And refund? Eh. I guess I just donated a bunch of money. Absolutely disappointed but not really surprised…super sketchy way to do ticketing and it’s really my fault for essentially getting scammed
