3.5 miles from Viceroy Palm Springs

To gain a bird's-eye perspective on the Coachella Valley, take this 14-minute ascent up 2 1/2 miles to the top of Mount San Jacinto. While the Albert Frey-designed boarding stations retain their 1960s ski-lodge feel, newly installed Swiss funicular cars are sleekly modern and rotate during the trip to allow each passenger a panoramic view. There's a whole other world once you arrive: alpine scenery, a ski-lodge-flavored restaurant and gift shop, and temperatures typically 40 cooler than the desert floor. The most dramatic contrast is during the winter, when the mountaintop is a snowy wonderland, irresistible to hikers and bundled-up kids with saucers. Guided mule rides and cross-country ski equipment are available at the top.
