This is the view from Cody's bedroom - blue sky and sun!

 We drove over to Palm Springs and took the Aerial Tram up to the top of the San Jacinto Mountains.

 The view from the top - there was snow on the ground, but the air was warm and sunny. Palm Springs below, in the Coachella Valley. To the far right we could see the Salton Sea.

 Rolling snowballs down the steep slopes.

 A clear stream meandered through the valley.

 The Jeffrey Pines smelled like butterscotch.

  The tramway on the ride down - there were 5 of these towers. You go from 2,300 feet elevation up to 8,500!

Looking down below the tramcar at the steep rocky slopes.
