Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is a great escape when temperatures in Palm Springs climb to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. It's 35-40 degrees cooler at this lovely vista and is the largest rotating aerial tramway in the world, opened in September 1963 as a way of getting from the floor of the Coachella Valley to the top of San Jacinto Peak. It was constructed in rugged Chino Canyon with helicopters bringing in materials.
