World's largest rotating Tram car. Opened in 1963, the Tram's 80-passenger cars travel along the beautiful cliffs of Chino Canyon from the Valley Station (elevation 2,643 ft.) to the Mountain Station (elevation 8,516 ft.) in approximately 10 minutes. At the top enjoy breathtaking views, Peaks Restaurant, Pines Cafe, a gift shop, nature exhibits, educational documentary theaters, and over 50 miles of hiking trails in the Mt. 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!

VillageFest

The place to meet new friends is at this old-fashioned street fair with sidewalk performers, musicians, farmer's market, gifts and lots of food.

Reviewed By V3855POhelena - Santa Monica, United States

I happened upon this Palm Springs experience a few months ago, and have repeated it ever since. It's very pleasant walking down the main street among arts and crafts, good stands, a mini farmers market, locals walking their dogs, and a village atmosphere on a large scale. I specially like the tiles/coasters made from retro posters and have started a collection. They can be found at stelladivina.com. These and other excellent arts and crafts make it worth spending at least a couple of hours browsing, and sampling some of the street food while mingling with the locals and tourists.

Estrella Spa

Estrella ("star" in English) was the original name of the hotel which is now the Avalon Palm Springs. For the last decade however, it's what we've called our spa. We like to think of Estrella Spa as the star that lights up the Avalon from the inside out. It's the centerpiece of our Hotel's health and wellness experience and a refuge for your indulgence, play, learning, growth and comfort. Our menu contains a completely new offering of treatments and experiences that we have crafted exclusively for you.

The Spa at the Andreas

Reviewed By Bluedog23 - Missoula, United States

While on the small side, this spa provided an intimate yet completely top notch experience. Greeted with a glass of champagne, I was then led to a private changing room and then the relaxation room. I booked the "Andreas Glow", which was a combination massage and facial. Both treatments were excellent! My massage therapist was a very special person, we really enjoyed talking about traveling the world. This was also a fantastic value, very reasonably priced. Will definitely go back when I return to Palm Springs!
