Snowshoeing up to San Jacinto via the Tram

What an amazing day! First time snowshoeing, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Our plan was to take the tram up and then snowshoe the rest of the way to the summit.
We left at about 6:00am and got to the tram by 7:35am and barely made onto the first tram up. This was my first time on the tram, and I must say that it was pretty adventurous. Nice fast mover all the way to the top. I guess it was too early though to rotate it for the view. Unless they only do that on the way down.
