One of the best things about living in California is the diversity of geography and how close they can be to each other. A perfect example of this is in Palm Springs. You can take the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and go up approximately 10,000 feet into the mountain and be in a totally different world.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done it, but with the recent rains last month, I thought I’d take advantage of the timing and see some fresh snow. I’m not really a “snow” kinda person, but I do enjoy a little snowman making! ⛄️ It takes only 10 minutes to get up from the base station.
Here’s some fun pics I took while up there:
The best part is, once you’ve had your fun, you just jump back on and 10 minutes later you’re back on the ground, and then a few minutes after that, you can be back by the pool in 80 degree sunny weather.
Gotta love California!
Protip: Try to get there as early as you can if you go on a weekend. The line to get tickets fills up fast and you can be waiting for quite a while just to get tickets. I got there pretty shortly after it opened in the morning on a Saturday, and was able to get on the 3rd tram up. But when i got back down, the line was out the door, into the parking lot! The good news is when it’s busy, they run the trams every 10 minutes. More info here.
