Day 12 Tram Ride

Our anniversary today.  We went on the Palm Springs Tramway.  We went late in the day to be able to see the lights after dark, but the mountains partially  shaded most of the photos.  The floor of the tram car rotates  so everyone gets a variety of views.   We are at a little over 100 feet in elevation at the RV park.  The parking lot for the tram is at 2,643 feet.  It was a steep climb.  The tram ride is 2 1/2 miles up to the Mountain Station at 8,516 feet.  Still snow on the ground.
There was an area of lots of wind generators as we got close to the ascent road.  They provide electricity for thousands of homes.
