The world's largest rotating tram car climbs nearly 6,000 vertical feet up Chino Canyon in about ten minutes, swapping desert floor for pine forest at the top of Mount San Jacinto.

Know before you go

  • Bring a jacket even in summer since the mountain station can be 30-40 degrees cooler than the valley
  • Book tickets online in advance for the first or last tram of the day to avoid crowds
  • Hike one of the trails at the top station if you want a longer outing beyond the observation decks
