The Tram scales the San Jacinto Mountains to a height of 8515 feet. Created by Francis Crocker, the project started in 1932/33 taking 30 years from dream to completion (STICK WITH YOUR DREAMS). After funding in 1961, the first official tram cars were put into operation in 1963 at a per ride cost of $1.000.00. Each tram car ran along 2.5 miles of cable, climbing 1 mile high 500-600 ton crossing towers suspending the steel cable. In September 2000, the tramway was updated with a fresh set of higher capacity rotating cars, and new cabling and parts were added.
