Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is a cable car from Palm Springs up to the San Jacinto Mountains.

Why go

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is an aerial cable car that climbs from its Valley Station on Tramway Road in Palm Springs, Riverside County, California, to a Mountain Station in the San Jacinto Mountains. OpenStreetMap maps the cable car line, the Valley Station building at the foot of the line and an upper terminal building, and lists pstramway.com as the operator's website. Palm Springs is about 170 km east of Los Angeles. The operator's site could not be read on 3 October 2026, so opening hours, departure frequency and conditions at the top are not stated here; check them before you travel.
