Ride the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway! The 2.5-mile journey takes you from the desert floor to the cool heights of Mt. San Jacinto. As you ascend, you'll pass through five different ecological zones, each showing off a new side of Southern California’s diverse landscapes. The tram car rotates as you go, offering incredible views of Chino Canyon.

From desert sands to cool mountain air

Starting at Valley Station, located at 2,643 feet (805 meters), the tram transports you up to Mountain Station at 8,516 feet (2,596 meters). The temperature drops significantly as you ascend, refreshing from the desert heat below. The cooler air, combined with the breathtaking views, provides a dramatic contrast to the arid conditions of the valley. The ride allows you to witness the sharp contrast between the desert below and the lush, green forest that awaits you at the top.

A glimpse into pristine wilderness

The tramway offers a gateway to one of Southern California’s last untouched wilderness areas, the 14,000-acre Mt. San Jacinto State Park. While the tram ride itself is a highlight, it also opens the door to a world of adventure, whether you're visiting in summer or winter. From panoramic views during the ride to the pristine beauty of the San Jacinto Mountains, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is a perfect way to connect with nature while enjoying a seamless, scenic ascent through multiple life zones.
