This was an experience I will never forget and I know my family will remember it fondly. This tram is the world's largest rotating tramcar and you will some awesome sights while it takes you to the top following along sheer cliffs of Chino Canyon. I kid you not at one point it is practically taking you all the way up a side of a cliff. I hate heights, but I knew my family would enjoy this.
They have various parking lots along the road up to the main area, because the parking areas are small due to being in a canyon. So we parked in the nearest, but hopped on the bus that took us to the main building. Here we purchased our ticket and waited till our time slot for our tram.
They have you board in a separate room. We boarded and I was thankful they had all the windows ajar to catch fresh air. We started our 10-minute ride starting at 2,643 ft. from the Valley Station and it rises to the Mountain Station at 8,516 ft. Ok, I was not all that happy but everyone assured me it will be ok, but I did it and I am proud of it.
I will tell you and the conductor does warn everyone it will “swing some” when you pass the towers…ok..wow…did not like that….LOL..one bit:)! Yet, once on top I was given a breath taking view of the whole Coachella Valley. It was well worth the trip and I will say when we left, going down was A-OK.
Once on top, you have some wonderful viewing areas, dining facilities, mini nature museum, gift shop, camping, guided tours and awesome hiking trails. During winter you can cross-country ski, and snowshoe.

My favorite things to do is to head to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway for a truly breathtaking view of the entire Coachella Valley. You get to the top with what is claimed to be the largest rotating trams in the world. From the base station at 2, 543 feet to the mountain station at 8,516 feet, the journey is an experience in itself. The journey takes about 12 minutes but it is worth it. Cost $20 per adult. You discover a big contrast between the desert and the top where temperature can change by more than 30 deg F or 15 deg C. In Winter the mountain is covered in snow. In the mountain there are hiking trails with tall pine and fir trees. I met people from around the world on the trails.
The view towards the Valley shows the 3000 wind mills used for generating electricity, the San Andreas Fault and, of course Palms Springs and other localities. Highly recommeded if you are visiting the area Leave a Comment Directions: Drive on Tramway Drive towards the mountain on the periphery of Palm Springs on the North Side

You'd better go there early in the morning to avoid lining up. Leave a Comment

Literally an Overview. 360ř of WOW!!! You can see the entire valley from the top. A great way to orient yourself. The ride up is amazing. Takes only 12 minutes, and is about 30ř cooler. Greta place to hike, learn and lunch. Leave a Comment Address: 1 Tramway Rd, Palm Springs, CAPhone: (760) 325-1391Directions: North edge of Palm SpringsWebsite: www.pstramway.com
