The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway carries riders up the sheer face of Chino Canyon in the world's largest rotating tramcar, gaining nearly 6,000 feet of elevation in about ten minutes. The car rotates slowly during the ascent, offering a full 360-degree view of the canyon and valley floor below, while the temperature drops 30 to 40 degrees along the way.

At the top, Mountain Station opens into Mt. San Jacinto State Park, where more than 50 miles of hiking trails wind through pine forest. Visitors who prefer to stay closer to the station can browse the natural history museum, catch a film in one of two documentary theaters, shop the gift shop, or settle in at one of two restaurants. Round trip tickets include unlimited time at the top, so the visit can be as quick or as leisurely as preferred before the ride back down to the desert floor.
