The Language of the Forest
Transport your students to the high altitudes of Mt. San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness via the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the world’s longest and steepest rotating car! Through sensory exploration, this program aims to explore ways we can learn the language of the forest and decipher what the mountain is communicating. Subject to fair weather, students can walk the Discovery Nature Trail and explore Long Valley, a precious meadow ecosystem home to various unique species.
