Palm Springs Aerial Tramway: Breathtaking Mountaintop Escape

What a great day at the top of the mountain. Enjoyed a snack and wine at the Pine Restaurant on top. The views were fabulous.

Everyone of the staff was so friendly! The attendant that was taking us up in the tram was very informative and friendly. We went on the tram to have dinner at the restaurant and our waiter Jeff was so nice and welcoming. Definitely will be back..

The tram is a feat of engineering that is fun to experience. The trip up and down is stunning. The people who work there seem to really like their jobs and want to give the riders a good experience.

Everything went great! Between the guard at the entry gate, the ticket office and the gondola operator we were impressed. The trips (up and down) were fun, the operators kept us informed and laughing. Because it was Halloween the music he played kept in tune with the holiday spirit. Great experience and we will do it again..

I Absolutely don't like Heights so going with friends who knew this helped. The Views ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!

Our favorite day of our Palm Springs trip by far! The ride up was amazing, capped off by the 1.5 mile hike at the top. Do it..it’s amazing. The trip down, for me who is afraid of heights, was a bit unnerving but Gil, the Tram operator, was amazing! He talked me down and made me feel at ease. Thank you!! One thing that I would recommend if you are on a time constraint is to book your tour at a specific time. We booked through TripAdvisor, got there and had to convert the voucher to a ticket and ended up having to wait an hour and a half. It was a great wait because we sat on the patio and enjoyed the tram and the ambience. However, the weight was unexpected.

This was my 2nd time on the Tram. We had a blast! The rider operators were friendly and fun! They ensured our safety, gave history and played some great music. All of us passengers were singing and having a great time!

Took the time to take the PSAT up the mountain to Mt. San Jacinto State Park. Arrived around noon and planned to spend the day hiking around mountain station and the wilderness. Wait for the tramway up was a little long (90 min), but there were comfortable areas to wait inside and outside. We purchased tickets on-site on a Tuesday, but our schedule was flexible, so we didn't mind the wait. If you have a set schedule you want to keep, I suggest purchasing tickets online. After a stop at the ranger station to get a permit, we decided on the Round Valley loop (4-5 miles). We had dinner reservations at Peak restaurant at mountain station after the hike. There are lockers at mountain station where we kept a pack with fresh clothes for dinner. Had the most enjoyable ride back down the mountain because of car/tram employee, Gil, who had the entire tram singing and dancing to popular songs as we rode through the dark.

1. Easy access for wheelchairs 2. Great parking with easy and fast access to the main building 3. Affordable pricing for the ride, food, drinks, and curio shop 4. Clean eating areas, floors, bathrooms, and gondolas 5. Courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable staff

The experience was a delight. Will definitely recommend this one to friends and family who are looking for something similar. I would also like to add that Gill was a great tram operator. He interacted with everyone and had the whole car singing.
