Was told this was a "can't miss attraction" and I'm glad we went up on a clear day. It was a bit expensive in my opinion but well worth it once you were on top, given the expansive views. The food is a bit pricey on the top but it is a nice spot to hike (if the snow is not too restrictive) and the views are breathtaking. We went up mid-afternoon and watched the sunset which was well worth it and then got to see the city below at night with all the lights. I would say this is a "can't miss attraction" for sure!

I have a big fear of heights but wanted to try this experience ...I’m glad we did. I didn’t get any photos while in motion due to my fear of heights however the views on the way were spectacular. It was too icy to view from observation area but my husband did snap a few pics for me. The staff we encountered were all friendly and helpful. A must see!

This is well worth the $25 admission fee. The tram up is a great ride that take you up to 8,500 ft. and San Jacinto State Park. There was snow up on top of the mountain and beautiful tall pines and forest trees. A different world than below. We made a reservation before going and at at the Peaks Restaurant. The food and service was excellent. The walking paths were a bit icy so we didn't walk too far, but the lookouts from the top were great and we took some great pictures of the valley below. I've been up three times in the last 7-8 years and will go again!
