Vertigo sufferers look away now

THE Palm Springs Aerial Tramway can be found in the rugged Chino Canyon on the north edge of Palm Springs. 

The first ride took place on September 12th 1963 and in 1998, the Tramway announced that it was embarking on an ambitious modernization program that would see the construction and installation of new cars and an update of its facilities.

In September 2000, passengers first rode the world’s largest rotating tramcars.

Since 1963, nearly 18 million people have traveled the 10-minute, 2.5-mile ride, which begins at the Valley Station (elevation 2,643 feet) and ends at the Mountain Station (elevation 8,516 feet).
