Sightseeing
Take a couple of minutes onto Tramway Road as you roll Ito Palm Springs and you'll come across this classic canyon-hugging gondola ride. Board a rotating car inside an angular 1963 station and after 10 minutes and a double-digit temperature drop, you'll find yourself facing the entire of the Coachella Valey below. Linger with a stop at the mountaintop restaurant, cafe or lounge, or hike deeper into the San Jacinto Mountains.
