Up for a hike? You can take the tramway to San Jacinto Peak for hiking or a romantic picnic. As an added bonus for those who do not suffer from acrophobia, the tramcars actually rotate so guests can stand in one place to get a view of both the lush mountain and the valley’s wide expanse during the 10-minute journey.

A great little art oasis in the desert.  The permanent collection focuses more on American and American Indian paintings, sculpture and architecture.

This museum houses one of the country’s largest collections of World War II aircraft.  Military buffs will have a field day with all the artifacts and books.
