A must do. This rotating tram will take you from the desert floor through multiple ecosystems to arrive near the top of Mt. San Jacinto where you will find a forest of conifer trees, hiking trials and stunning view of the valley. If you are really adventurous you may hike to Idyllwild, a unique bohemian mountain town about 10 miles from the tram mountain station. You will need warm clothes, water, food and other provisions. This is recommended only for seasoned hikers. You will probably want to stay the night in Idyllwild before heading back the next day. So book a cabin ahead of time. www.experienceidyllwild.com/
