Returning to Palm Springs, after more than 20 years, was a unforgettable and splendid experience! 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. It is a ten-minute journey, tram cars rotate slowly, allowing spectacular vistas of the valley below. At the Mountain Station, you will find two very good restaurants, observation decks, natural history museum, gift shop and awesome trails! (over 50 miles of them!) .

Six of us took this wonderful tour, led by Mike, a volunteer from the Palm Springs Historical Society. Mike was knowledgable, and honest when he wasn't. He had a great voice, which was important since most of us were hearing him on "devices". The people with good hearing listened on the devices provided by Bike PS. I asked Mike to wear my transmitter, which brought his voice into my hearing aid and cochlear implant. The only unfortunate situation was one of our group whose behind the ear hearing aids were not compatible with the "silhouette" style earpieces provided. He just stayed close to Mike and got by reasonably well. A suggestion to Bike PS: offer different types of ear pieces including earbuds. This was a fabulous event!

San Jacinto State Park Wilderness.

No surprise...Palm Springs is hot, hot, hot in August! The bummer is that many things are closed except on the weekends, but The Aerial Tramway and national park is not. It was an amazing experience and one I would highly recommend. Be sure to wear appropriate shoes (uh--not flip flops), and bring water. Even though the temp is up to 30 degrees cooler than down below, it is still plenty hot and dry. The ride up is a bit of a thrill, and if you are afraid of heights, I recommend sitting in the center section. At a minimum, take the Nature or Desert Trail hike at the top. It is only 1.5-2 miles and so beautiful. There are many viewpoints along the way. Tram starts at 10 a.m. and departs about every 10 minutes until 8:30 p.m. It is not cheap, but well worth it. Food, gift shop, and awesome viewpoints at the top!
