Palm Springs Cable Cars

 

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

                                                                     

The Tram opened to the public in 1963.  Presently there are two- 80 passenger cars that are enclosed and rotate. They ascend from the valley floor to an elevation of over 8,500 feet.  The weather there is always much cooler than the desert and even gets snow.  A great day includes a picnic lunch and hike along one of the many trails.  There is also a restaurant for those who are there purely for the view and a fun ride.  If you do hike bring water and follow a trail, every year we have several rescues of hikers that have lost their way.
