Top of the Desert

Yesterday we spent the day in the Springs -that would be Palm, not Colorado or Glenwood.
Kyle and I honeymooned in Telluride and had to take a gondola ride just to get from the room to the town everyday. So we are a wee bit spoiled in that regard. Palm Springs is no Telluride but it was actually pretty nice.


I guess it is the 2nd steepest tram in the world. When we made it to the top it was a whole new world! No more sandy desert with palm trees, but miles of forest with tons of snow.



There was 3 feet of snow at the top and it was a nippy 40 degrees! ;)



We hung out at the restaurant on top and hiked around some of the trails. The kids loved playing in the snow. My favorite was definitely coming down the tram at the part where you feel like your falling. That's the best. :)



It was fun, but the next time I am at the top of this mountain I want to have climbed up it, not ridden.

Didn't you just have a baby? Should you be hiking around and riding up tramns? You rock.

that should read "trams" not tramns. I don't know if you should be riding a tramn or not.

p.s. at least AJ didn't write "tramps" that would've put a whole new spin on this post :)
