    Ascend to an alpine wonderland

    Think of the desert and pictures of swimming pools and golf courses come to mind. But adventure? For that you can take the 10-minute, 2.5-mile ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. In the winter, the top of the Tramway is transformed into a pristine snow-covered playground. Visitors can try their hand at cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. During the summer months, when it is well into the 100s in the desert, the mountains offer more than 54 miles of hiking trails, camping and guided nature walks as a pleasant alternative to chilling out. At the Mountain Station enjoy viewpoints, a cocktail lounge, gift shop and the Natural History Museum.
