## About

Take Thanksgiving dinner to literal new heights aboard the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, ascending two-and-a-half miles up Chino Canyon in rotating tram cars to the 8,516-foot Mountain Station in Mt. San Jacinto State Park. The crisp alpine air, soaring pine trees, and 360-degree views of the Coachella Valley provide an unforgettable family setting.

The special Thanksgiving Ride 'n' Dine package at Pines Café combines tram admission with a holiday dinner featuring oven-roasted turkey or honey-glazed ham, savory stuffing, seasonal vegetables, dinner roll, and a slice of traditional pumpkin pie. Afterwards, families can explore easy nature viewpoints and observe native mountain wildlife.
