The geology and the engineering are amazing. Go in the morning to avoid the afternoon fog. And buy your tickets directly from PSTramways. Don’t buy from a third party (like TripAdvisor) as it’s just a voucher. Discounts only available from the tram company. A must-see in Palm Springs

Beautiful way to spend the day! Fast and fun way to get to the top of Mt. San Jacinto. Top is at 8500 ft above sea level and about 30-40 degrees cooler than the valley. A totally different environment with huge Jeffrey pine trees, snow covered hiking trails. Great views from the hiking trails. I'd never hiked at 8500 ft before. I got winded much faster than usual! If I lived in Palm Springs, I'd be coming up here all the time (especially in the summer to escape the heat.) The Tram ride itself is exciting too. Highly recommended. Everyone who works there was super friendly. The tram pilot led a sing-along on the ride down. Fun day!

This was well worth the money. But highly recommend it to any family. Dress warm for the weather at the top. Give yourself three hours if you really want to spend some time at the top of the mountain.
