The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is set to reopen on Friday, October 18, 2024, a day earlier than initially planned. The first tram will depart at 10:00 a.m., with the last ascent scheduled for 8:00 p.m. and the final descent at 9:30 p.m. Tram cars are expected to leave every half hour.
During the recent maintenance closure in 2024, several key projects were completed. These included replacing four tension ropes, conducting maintenance and testing on the gearbox, and repositioning track ropes.
"We are pleased to announce that our reopening date has been moved up by one day," stated General Manager Nancy Nichols. "We extend our gratitude to our visitors for their patience as our Tramway Systems team diligently completed all necessary projects. We eagerly anticipate welcoming both new and returning visitors to the Tramway and the beautiful Mt. San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness."
