Destinations

A rotating ride to a cooler world

The Aerial Tramway ascends over 8,500 feet into the San Jacinto Wilderness, offering dramatic views of Chino Canyon below.

This is the world’s largest rotating tram car. The tramway travels over 2.5 miles along the breathtaking cliffs of Chino Canyon. Most importantly, it transports riders to the pristine wilderness of the Mt. San Jacinto State Park.

Insider Insight

Tram cars rotate slowly for panoramic viewing, but savvy guests snag a spot near the windows facing east—offering the most breathtaking canyon drops. At the summit, book a private snowshoe or nature tour through the Mount San Jacinto Natural History Association. Evening rides are magical—watch as the Coachella Valley lights begin to twinkle far below.

From desert heat to alpine hush in under 15 minutes.
