Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Mountain Station
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Mountain Station, Mountaintop station in Mount San Jacinto State Park, California.
The three-story station features reinforced concrete lower levels, while the upper level combines wood and glass with a concrete viewing deck.
Architect E. Stewart Williams designed this Swiss chalet-inspired structure for the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which opened its doors in 1963.
The Mountain Station contains multiple dining venues, observation areas, and access points to more than 50 miles of natural trails.
Located at 8,516 feet elevation, the station maintains temperatures approximately 30 degrees cooler than the desert floor throughout the year.
The building earned National Register of Historic Places recognition in 2016 for its architectural design and role in regional transportation.
