On Friday we went to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, northwest of Palm Springs. It was a fantastic experience! The tram travels from 2,643 feet to 8516 in just 10 minutes!
The car's floor rotates approximately twice during the ride, allowing us to see all views as we ascended. The temperature went from 75 to 51!
The cars are the world's largest rotating cars in the world and were designed and made in Switzerland.
The view from the top is spectacular...This photo doesn't do it justice. You can see several towns and cities from this lofty vantage point.
Here we are at the mountaintop station, enjoying the natural beauty of Mt. San Jacinto. It is hard to imagine how this thing was put together and constructed on rocky mountain sides. A couple of the towers had helicopter landing pads which were used to transport materials up during the construction.
