Vistana Community Member "I visited the Palm Springs Tram" — 03/15/2018 "I visited the Palm Springs Tram" 03/15/2018 I recommend a visit to the Palm Springs Tramway which takes you 10,000 plus feet up to the park in a short ride with the most change in natural scenery you could ever see in 20 minutes, from desert to alpine. Breathtaking views on a sturdy and steady tram. The ride was not scary at all. People of all ages were enjoying the wonder of this experience.
Vistana Community Member "Palm Springs Aerial Tramway" — 03/14/2018 "Palm Springs Aerial Tramway" 03/14/2018 Was a very interesting experience. Great view from the top. Weather is quite different from ground level.
Vistana Community Member "Night Time Visit" — 03/14/2018 "Night Time Visit" 03/14/2018 First time here after years of discussing it. We wondered why we waited so long. Went at night and the view of the entire valley at night is magical. Ready to go back in the daytime and do some hiking up there.
Vistana Community Member "Have taken the team twice" — 03/14/2018 "Have taken the team twice" 03/14/2018 It has wonderful views and at the top you can hike and enjoy views of the valley. We ate, drank and bought goodies at the shops. Wore the scarves I bought for years!! Loved it!!

Vistana Community Member "Kathy DellAngelo" — 02/21/2018 "Kathy DellAngelo" 02/21/2018 The tramway ride is absolutely exhilarating. Once at the top there are interesting, educating walking paths. The views of the whole valley are spectacular!
Vistana Community Member "Spectacular Ride" — 02/08/2018 "Spectacular Ride" 02/08/2018 This a must for anyone visiting the area! The ride in the revolving tram up the canyon is beyond spectacular! Once up at the top there are many short hikes around with beautiful views of The Valley. The restaurant serves delicious food! Best time to go is in the morning before it gets too hot!
