Hiking
Within the Mount San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness are 54 miles of hiking trails which should be sufficient to satisfy the appetite of the most avid outdoor enthusiast.
You'll be amazed by the breathtaking scenery as you ride the Palm Springs Aerial Tram over two and a half miles up the rugged Chino Canyon for a nature experience unlike any other. The Palm Springs Aerial Tram will glide effortlessly up through the canyon, and the panoramic windows will allow you to photograph this pristine wilderness from the comfort of the tramcar. Once you reach the top, the opportunities for a serene, relaxing day or some adventurous activities are endless.
Take guided nature hikes, explore on your own, or simple sit and soak in the amazing views. This is the perfect setting for romance, as couples have even gotten married with this grand vista as their backdrop! Take the Palm Springs Aerial Tram all the way to a top for a day of spectacular sightseeing!
