Want to take a virtual ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway?
There was snow at the top. Look at all of it!
The San Andreas Fault runs across the bottom of those hills on the opposite side of the valley.
That’s Palm Springs down there.
On a clear day, you can see the mountains just outside of Las Vegas. Is that them way over there? I have no idea. Let’s pretend that it’s true!
There’s supposed to be lots of these guys around, but very well-behaved fellow in the lobby was the only one that we saw.
The tram takes you to Mountain Station on Mt. San Jacinto. Lots of people were on the little paved trail. They were having a great time going down, but a hell of a time coming back up. The air is thin at 8,500 feet.
This is the sight that greets you as you head down. Somehow the downhill journey is more troubling than the uphill ride.
