Palm Springs Tram Celebrates its 50th Anniversary

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will offer $50 summer passes in honor of its 50th anniversary, a tram spokeswoman said today.

The passes, priced at $50 for adults and seniors and $25 for children ages 3 to 12, will be available starting April 8, and are valid from that day through Aug. 9.

Pass holders get unlimited tram rides, and 10 percent off other tram admissions and both restaurants, spokeswoman Lena Zimmerschied said.

This weekend, the tram's Mountain Station will host an Easter sunrise service at 5:45 a.m., and breakfast and Easter dinner will be offered at the Pines Cafe.
