PALM SPRINGS TRAM - QUESTION
We will be stopping overnite in Palm Springs on our way to Santa Barbara in August and thinking about taking the aerial tram. Do you know if the cars are air conditioned?

OTC you might want to take the tram later in the day but your money would be better spent on any one of the many great PS restaurants. You won't get your money's worth at the restaurant at the top of the tram. We were not impressed with the facility or the food.
We hd great meals at Riccios, Al Dente, Chops, The Falls, Le St Germain (Indian Wells)& Spencers

I echo Suzie's comments. You would be very disappointed with the price and quality of the food at the top. If you don't want to dine at many of the great restaurants on the Valley floor, you might consider stopping at the Bristol Farms in Palm Desert or Trader Joe's in Palm Desert or Cathedral City and picking up a great picnic. There are tables at the base of the trail down from the Mtn Station you can use.

Also---I see now that you are considering August. You should be ok as far as the annual maintenance shutdown:
2008 Annual Maintenance - The Tramway will be closed for Annual Maintenance September 8, 2008 - October 3, 2008.

It is a great ride and I doubt you'll be disappointed (unless you eat up there!)
