up San Jacinto Mountain

We had lunch at the café at the Center and then onto the Palm Desert Aerial Tramway which took us up San Jacinto Mountain. At the base it was 75°F. At the top it was 25°F and there was 2 feet of snow on the ground! The tramway was interesting. Each gondola is round and holds 80 people — and it rotates! It makes 2 full rotations on ascent, and 2 full rotations on descent. It is just the floor that rotates; the top shell and windows do not, which is a bit peculiar, but because of the rotation, everyone gets all views, which is great.
