Mountaintop Easter Sunrise Service Planned

Easter is this coming Sunday, and if you’re still making plans--an impressive choice is a mountaintop sunrise service.

The service at Palm Springs Tramway’s Mountain Station, elevation 8,516 feet, begins on April 5 at 5:45 a.m., with the gospel choir, “Voices of Song,” and and inspirational message from Dr. Robert Sneed.

The first tram car up that morning is 5:00 a.m. and the last—for the service—is 5:40 a.m. Reduced Tram fares will be in effect until 7:30 a.m. with round-trip $15 for adults and seniors, and $12 for children ages 3-12.

Immediately following the program, breakfast will be served in Pines Café. The cost for the Ride ‘N’ Breakfast combination until 7:30 a.m., which includes round-trip Tram fare, is $23.95 for adults and seniors, and $16.95 for children ages 3-12. The breakfast menu will also be available separately until 10:00 a.m.

Normal Tram fares will be in effect after 7:30 a.m. with admission $23.95 for adults, $21.95 seniors 62+ and $16.95 for children ages 3-12.

Easter dinner will be available from 11:00 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. in Pines Café, a cafeteria-style restaurant. The regular menu will be served along with Easter ham added for Easter Sunday only. Cost for the Ride ‘N’ Dine combination is $36.00 for adults and seniors, and $23.50 for children ages 3-12.

Reservations are not taken and tickets go on sale at 8:00 a.m.
