Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in Palm Springs, California, opened in September 1963 as a way of getting from the floor of the Coachella Valley to near the top of San Jacinto Peak. Prior to its construction, the only way to the top of the mountain was to hike for several hours, from the town of Idyllwild.
Today, the tram is one of Southern Califonia's biggest attractions. The eight-and-a-half-minute ride begins at the Valley Station, and travels up the side of one of North America's sheerest mountain faces, passing through several life zones on its way to the Mountain Station, 8516 feet (2600 m) above mean sea level. The trip has been likened, in terms of geologic and climatic change, to a motor trip from Sonora, California, to the Canadian tundra. The Tram now features rotating cars, allowing passengers a 360 degree view during their trip up and down the mountain. For more information on the Palm Springs Tram click here. |
