Hiking: Palm Springs Tram to San Jacinto Peak

So, here are pictures from my trip from the Palm Springs Tram to San Jacinto Peak.

You park at the base of the mountain. A shuttle will come by and pick you up.

The inner workings of the tram can be seen from the base.

Here are some pictures on the way up.

We went on the Long Valley Discovery Trail which is about 1.2 miles. There are five notches with beautiful views.

We agreed that notch #3 is the best so don't skip it.

When we got back we walked up to the vista at the top and saw this little guy eating a Cheeto:

This ride is not cheap. It costs $107 for the tickets and we got pictures which the wife thought we needed. Those were another $49. Yikes!

As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
