Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to reopen on Saturday after week-long closure

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will officially reopen to the public on Saturday following a week-long closure.

The closure came about due to technical issues, as well as a delay in the delivery of a replacement part.

The first tram up will be at 8:00 a.m., the last tram up will be at 9:00 p.m. and the last tram down will be at 10:30 p.m.

Tram cars depart at least every 30 minutes.

“We wish to extend our thanks to Tram patrons for their patience during this unexpected shutdown,” states Tramway General Manager Nancy Nichols. “Our Tramway Systems team worked tirelessly to isolate then replace the malfunctioning part. We are now eager to welcome guests back to the Tramway and the Mt. San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness.”
