The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in Palm Springs, California, is a remarkable engineering marvel that offers visitors a scenic ride from the desert floor to the alpine wilderness of Mount San Jacinto State Park. The tramway, which opened in 1963, features rotating tramcars that provide stunning 360-degree views during the 10-minute, 2.5-mile ascent. At the Mountain Station, located at an elevation of 8,516 feet, guests can enjoy hiking, dining, and panoramic vistas of the Coachella Valley.
