Up up and away
I suppose this is old news for readers of this blog.
But this article and the photos with it are really really good.
It is almost as good as the ride itself.
We have a rise of 12,000 feet in the mountains that nudge up against our beautiful city.
A lot of hikers, in the old days, venture up part of the way. Never to the top.
The easier, softer way is the tram. But some do go up the deep valley of Chino Canyon.
They say there is no equivalent to this in the US. You would have to go to Switzerland where the cars were built.
After awhile, like anything else, a trip to the top is something done for visitors more than oneself.
But, this inspires me to give it a try again. In the "winter" there would be snow and that is certainly something worth the trip.
This photo is at night. Maybe that would be a good thing to do if they are open then. I actually doubt it but it is worth a look.
