Description
I stopped to take this photograph from the Tram's Valley Station area. You can see the rotating car suspended in the middle of the image and the Mountain station at the top. The trip is an amazing experience that ends too soon. The rugged cliffs along the way, and the grand view into Coachella Valley, are mesmerizing.
"The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in Palm Springs, California, is the largest rotating aerial tramway in the world. It was opened in September 1963 as a way of getting from the floor of the Coachella Valley to near the top of San Jacinto Peak and was constructed in rugged Chino Canyon. Before its construction, the only way to the top of the mountain was to hike hours from Idyllwild. The rotating cars were added in 2000. In 1963, a tram car became stuck for 13½ hours because of an electrical problem in the control room."~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
