Mount San Jacinto - Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway was opened in 1963. Two 80 passenger cars depart every half hour from 10 a.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. weekends until 9:45 p.m.

The valley station is on the northern edge of Palm Springs. The railway, built in Switzerland in the early sixties, winds its way up the difference in altitude in fourteen minutes, during which time you pass through several climatic zones. Even if it is a hot day in the valley it is cool on the peak.
