Last week, I paid a visit to Palm Springs, and its two and half mile long aerial tramway, upon which ride the world’s largest rotating tram cars.
The point isn’t just to combat vertigo and take in the the view, although I bet most people do that, but also to access Mount Saint Jacinto State Park and Wilderness, apparently the largest wilderness area in southern California.
It’s sure pretty up there.
But in reviewing my notes, I find two oddities.
First, every time I saw a poster listing the URL for the tramway, I thought of pastrami. (Do you see why?)
And second, after having pondered totally impractical footwear last week, I felt very vindicated by the sound wardrobe advice in this sign, third line from the top:
I will immediately add this to my ever-growing file of evidence that travelers tend to find what they’re looking for.
My wife and I also visited the Coachella Valley recently and made the spectacular trip up the aerial tramway. I took the very same picture of the ‘no high heeled shoes’ sign because my wife wears them all the time! Normally I just come to the area to golf, but anyone visiting has to take the tramway – it was so much fun.
