Mount San Jacinto Description

A special experience is offered in the form of a ride by cable-car up the 8,600ft/2,600m Mount San Jacinto.

At the end of the line of the Aerial Tramway lies a mountain station which houses an interpretation center run by the state park service. The station runs a video program on the construction of the Aerial Tramway.

A number of hiking trails lead off from the station including trails to the summit of Mount San Jacinto and through the well populated pine forests on the mountain.

The mountain offers good views of the surrounding areas including the Palm Springs Valley.

Organized horse back rides are also available.
