THE AERIAL TRAMWAY....PALM SPRINGS

We had a good few hours out today, with the highlight being the Aerial Tram ride up into the state park
The Valley Station  is about 6 miles from the town boundary, up a step road. ...for $16 each ( senior) you board the tramway revolving carriage with up to 79 others, we didn't have that many people on our trips,
As the carriage ascends to the top at 8500 feet it does 2 complete rotations, giving everyone on board a great view, the trip takes 11 minutes to reach the Mountain Station. The tramway passes 5 towers before it reaches the top, 4 of the tower had to have all the buildings taken to site by helicopter. Once at the top the view are quite spectacular. There are a number of food outlets,natural history museum and movie theater, and access to the state park and 54 miles of hiking trails.
