Beat The Heat!

Beating the summer heat in Palm Springs can be effortlessly achieved by visiting the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway or the Palm Springs Surf Club. The Aerial Tramway offers a refreshing escape with its scenic ride up to Mount San Jacinto State Park, where temperatures are significantly cooler than the desert floor, providing a perfect respite from the heat. Visitors can enjoy hiking, dining, and breathtaking views at the mountain station in a comfortable, cooler environment. Alternatively, the Palm Springs Surf Club offers a unique oasis with its state-of-the-art wave pool, allowing visitors to surf, swim, or relax in a tropical setting without the scorching temperatures. Both destinations provide enjoyable and refreshing ways to stay cool while experiencing the best of Palm Springs' outdoor attractions.
