Today [Aug. 30, 2016] I took a ride on the world's largest rotating tramway. Over twenty seven miles of cable is used throughout the tram system which carries passengers to (nearly) the top of San Jacinto Peak while providing them with a 360 degree rotating view. .

"The twelve-and-a-half minute ride begins at the Valley Station (coordinates: 33.8372�N 116.6142�W) at 2,643 ft (806 m) and passes up North America's sheerest mountain face through five life zones (biomes) on its way to the Mountain Station (coordinates: 33.8130�N 116.6385�W) at 8,516 ft (2,596 m) above mean sea level. Travelers start in the Sonoran Desert and arrive at an alpine forest."
