Palm Springs Aerial Tramway / Mount San Jacinto Park

Soar Over the San Jacinto Mountains on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which is the largest rotating tram car on the planet, will take you nearly three miles over the amazing Chino Canyon cliffs to see the impressive San Jacinto Mountain landscape. In ten minutes, you will arrive at Mt. San Jacinto State Park, just slightly more than 8,500 feet above terra firma, where you can take in the views on the observation decks and browse the natural history museum.

Dine on fine or casual cuisine, and explore the park via hiking trails nearby. Access the high-rising views of this iconic Palm Springs landmark just 15 minutes from the Movie Colony Hotel.
