Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument

"Beautiful viewpoint and an absolute blast of a road on the way up to it. I’ve made the trip both during the day and night to see both spectacular views and they don’t disappoint."

"Absolutely stunning! The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is an amazing experience from start to finish. The views on the way up are breathtaking, and once you reach the top, the scenery is truly unforgettable. If you visit during the winter, be prepared for cold weather and snow at the summit, which makes for a magical experience. Even in the summer, I would still recommend bringing a jacket because the temperature drops significantly once you get up there. This is a must-visit and must-see destination. It is great for every age and perfect for the whole family. Whether you are looking for adventure, relaxation, or simply want to take in some incredible views, the Palm Springs Tram delivers. Highly recommended!"

"Beautiful! Great trail system around the visitor centre, but the trail up top is closed. For more of a challenge, cross the road, and go up the Art Smith trail. Scenic, the first parts look out over Big Horn, and then go further up into the mountains. Very challenging, but no water stops so bring lots!"
