Mount San Jacinto





Upwards to the Alpine Zone: the Palm Springs Aerial tramway whisks you from the desert heat at 2,600 feet to Alpine tundra at over 8,500 feet in 14 minutes. The cable car floor revolves as you ascend, providing everyone with views of Palm Springs in the arid Coachella Valley and the snow-clad slopes of Mount Jacinto. From the top station, trails fan out into the Mount San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness Area, a snowy wonderland and an amazing contrast to the desert below.
