Description:

Ride up and over Mt. San Jacinto State Park in the world's largest rotating tramcars, and take in the spectacular 360-degree views. Starting from the valley floor, the tram, 2.5-mile (4-km) route ascends 5,873 feet (1,790 m) up into the pristine wilderness of the park, where variety of recreational activities await you.

At the top of the mountain, the 14,000-acre (5,665-ha) Mt. San Jacinto State Park offers 54 miles (86 km) of hiking trails, campgrounds, a ranger station, and an Adventure Center. The Adventure Center, open mid-November through mid-April (snow conditions permitting), rents cross-country skis and snowshoes.

Take in the amazing views of the valley floor from Mountain Station observation decks, check out the Natural History Museum, or get a bite to eat at one of the two restaurants or the cocktail lounge.

Finish your visit by perusing the gift shop and watching a special documentary on the history of the tramway, then take the tram back down to the valley floor, watching the Sonoran Desert as you descend.
