Escape the desert setting and visit San Jacinto Mountain, with its cool forest, wildlife, and nature trails. At 3,302 m (10,834 ft), the peak is significantly cooler than its surroundings and is a draw for hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, picnickers, and campers. You can take a large rotating aerial tram up the mountain or go by car. The tram passes through five different biomes, providing numerous photography opportunities. A restaurant and a gift shop are at the mountain station. You'll want to bring a camera, water, and warm comfortable clothes. A visit to San Jacinto Mountain represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Palm Springs trip itinerary maker to plot your vacation.

  This is all about the views. Take the Desert View trail at least to notch 3 for the best views of the valley.  more »

  I climbed on Morro São Jacinto when I visited Palm Springs through the tram that goes up on the hill and has a beautiful view in the region because Mount São Jacinto has around 8500 feet of altitude and has a considerable amount of snow at the top being a visit The almost mandatory for those who go to the Palm Springs region. I visited when I was going to Las Vegas from L.A.
