PALM SPRINGS AERIAL TRAMWAY

On Thursday we rode the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway - it is the worlds largest rotating tramway. It starts at 2,643 feet and goes up the cliffs of Chino Canyon to 8,516 feet. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the top and drops about 30 degrees.

Getting ready to board the tram -- Rena was NOT at all excited to be going up the mountain, but she managed to put on a smile for us.....

Walking down to the Long Valley Discovery Trail.....

Fun on the trail.....

"Meet Jeff!" -- That's what the sign says -- Meet Jeff, the tree!

Time to go -- back in the tram going down -- Rena was excited this time and actually had fun on the tram.....

Here are some pictures of the awesome views:
