Joani signed us up for a morning sales pitch for a vacation timeshare at a resort in Indio, CA. Why you ask - because they were going to give us breakfast and two free Palm Springs Aerial Tramway tickets ($47.90 total) just for listening. It was a really nice resort, but it was not something we want or need. We didn't lead them on, so we were finished and out of there, tickets in hand, in less than 2 hours.
The Golf Club at Terra Lago was breathtaking!
WorldMark by Wyndham is a class act. Wow!
Almost makes you want to take up golf!
It seemed like we drove about halfway up the mountain to get to the tram. Of course, we really didn't. We boarded at 2,643 feet and rode it up to 8,516 feet. We were packed into the tram car like sardines and then the floor started to rotate. That would have been fine except the rails did not rotate with it and everyone hung on for their lives as the car rocked and swayed. The moving floor and stationary rails and crowded car created some confusion - good thing the whole trip was only 11 minutes.
The view was spectacular from the tram and from the platforms at the top. It was so clear I believe we were able to see a mountain peak near Las Vegas, 150 miles away.
At the top, we hiked a couple of trails for a total of just over 2 miles. It should have been pretty easy, but the altitude made it a bit of a challenge.
This will make you laugh if you are a "Late Night with Craig Ferguson" fan.
A beautiful sunset and 30 minutes in the hot tub cap off a great day in the desert!
