The Tramway in Palm Springs was about a 20 minute drive from our campground. It was a quick climb up 8,000 feet to the top of Mt. San Jacinto in the tram that can hold 80 people! It was a beautiful winter wonderland at the top. They had just had their first bit of snow during the night before and it was gorgeous! We had a Thanksgiving feast before taking the tram back down to the valley.
Joshua Tree Nat'l Park is located near the town of Joshua Tree and the town of 29 Palms and was about an hour drive from our campground in Palm Desert. What natural beauty, even in the high desert!
Our campground in Palm Desert and "Crashy" the Roadrunner. Also, windmills that are like the ones in Livermore, but bigger and there are a lot more of them.
