The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway—the world’s largest rotating tram car—travels over two-and-one-half miles along the breathtaking cliffs of Chino Canyon, transporting riders
to the pristine wilderness of the Mt. San Jacinto State Park. During your approximately ten-minute journey, tram cars rotate slowly, offering picturesque and spectacular vistas
of the valley floor below. Once you reach the Mountain Station—elevation 8,516 feet—enjoy two restaurants, observation decks, a natural history museum, two documentary
theaters, a gift shop, and over 50 miles of hiking trails.

The Palm Springs Air Museum is a living history museum dedicated to educating the public about the role Air Power played in preserving American liberties and way of life. The Museum preserves, exhibits, and flies aircraft from World War Two, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. A good portion of the aircraft in the collection are in flyable condition. Unlike many other museums, the air-conditioned hangars (5) have no ropes to keep you from interacting with the exhibits. Our group will enjoy a two-hour guided tour and time for exploring before we board our bus at 4:30 pm to return to the hotel
