Education
We cover the costs of school field trips using the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway so that students from all over the Coachella Valley are able to experience the state park at little to no cost, and we fund supplies for the Junior Ranger program for youth visitors.
Interpretation
Visit the State Park Museum on the bottom floor of the newly renovated mountain Tram station! MSJNHA funds help support the museum and many interpretive programs and projects within the park.
