One of my most memorable experiences when I first started working in the San Jacinto Mountains was my first ride up the Palm Springs Tramway. Starting at about 2,000 feet elevation up Chino Canyon from the desert resort of Palm Springs, the tramway takes 80 passengers to the 8, 500 feet level in about 15 minutes .... during which time it passes through five different vegetation zones and and can experience up to a 40 degree temperature drop. Friday morning, we boarded a coach at James Reserve which took us to the tram and up the mountain to begin our overnight. At the mountaintop station everyone posed for what they hoped was not their last team picture (smile).
