Take in views of the entire Coachella Valley, and on a clear day, Mexico, Nevada and Arizona from the top of the tram located at 8000+ ft. If you have the time and energy, make the 5 hour round-trip hike to the peak (10,800 ft), where, on a clear day, you can see as far as Los Angeles and at night, Las Vegas.
