Palm Springs Aerial Tram




On Christmas Eve day a bunch of us went up to the Palm Springs Tram with the kids. It was really fun! I had gone on it before when I was in 5th grade on a field trip. They have new trams since then and they rotate as you go up so you get to see the entire 360 degree view of the mountain and the valley. It is a little bit scary, as it climbs up 8500 feet to the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain it was about 30 degrees and there was tons of snow. Who would think that you can go to Palm Springs to play in the snow? The kids were very excited to play in the snow but soon discovered that snow is cold and hard to walk in. Maddie complained a lot and decided she'd had enough after 10 minutes. Carter on the other hand had a lot of fun. Sawyer was very frustrated trying to walk in it and kept falling down. I'll admit it was pretty cute! We had a great time and enjoyed a beautiful view and a white Christmas!
