On a hot summer's day, one of the best things to do in Palm Springs is to take a ride from the dry desert floor with the Aerial Tramway, 5,873 feet up into the cool climate of the San Jacinto Mountains. Come and ascend into a pristine wilderness aboard the world's largest rotating tramcars! Truly one of the greatest experiences in Southern California!

I always wanted to stop by here on the way to LA and finally found the time! It was the steepest climb Iāve ever experienced via tram. The ride was smooth and the view was fantastic! I thought I was going to be too cold on top, but it was just right for a nice relaxing hike. Lots of pine trees and pine cornās everywhere. There was some snow left at the Notch 1 so we made a mini snowman! Highly recommend this easy/moderate hike.

Super fun way to spend a day, or even a few hours, as a temperature break from the sweltering Valley, catch an amazing view, and enjoy mild ride up the mountain. Lovely lounge and restaurant at the top. Memorable visit with friends and family.
