Palm Springs Aerial Tram

We rode the aerial tram up to the top of Mt. San Jacinto.  A big fire from earlier in the week made the view a bit hazy, but it was spectacular none-the-less!



It was amazing to find a forested wilderness at the top of the mountain! 


In 1973, 38 years ago, Darrell and I rode this same tram with a couple of college buddies.  I recall very little of it, except the tram car, such as the one on the left.  Now they have just two Swiss made circular tram cars that hold 80 people each.  The bottom rotates so that everyone sees the views from all the angles.  Pretty unique!

Hey! I just saw that tram in an old Columbo episode and wondered where it was! HAHA!
