Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

One of the city’s most beloved attractions – and the world’s largest rotating tram! – the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway transports passengers nearly 6,000 feet up the face of the San Jacinto Mountains. At the top, visitors are granted jetliner views of the entire valley, as well as access to hiking trails, a gift shop, an informational movie and two eateries, including Peaks Restaurant, a unique top-of-the-tram fine dining experience. Tickets do book up fast, so plan accordingly. And those who experience motion sickness, should take note – the gondolas spin ever so slowly as they make their ascent and descent.
