Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.

I have always been curious about this Aerial Tramway since I learned about it.  So we finally decided to go and visit.  There is a Valley station at the foot of the mountain where we bought our tickets and waited for our turn to ride the tramway.  And as a side note, may I suggest buying the tickets ahead of time online since it gets pretty busy on weekends.  The wait could be as long as 3-4 hours.  But let me say the wait is still worth it because the view is spectacular.  The Tramway floor rotates giving riders a 360 degree view of the mountain and the valley including Palm Springs itself.  The ride took about 10 minutes and we arrived on top to the Mountain Station.  There are several restaurants, theaters and some vistas with the awesome view of the the valley and the picturesque mountain top.  People do all sort of stuffs up the mountain.  People go snow sledding, snow shoeing, snow fighting and cross country skiing.  I assume hiking and picnicking during the none winter season.  Our ride down the Tramway was equally as spectacular since it was night time and we got to see the lights of Palm Springs.   It was really a nice experience.  I highly recommend it for Angelenos considering that Palm Springs is just a 2 hour drive from LA.
