The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is an iconic Coachella Valley landmark — a two-mile rotating tram ride up the sheer cliffs of Chino Canyon to Mt. San Jacinto State Park. Events held near the tramway base enjoy stunning desert mountain views and a dramatic sense of place that few venues can match.
Big Smoke Trailers provides catering near Palm Springs Aerial Tramway for private events, corporate gatherings, and celebrations of all sizes. We handle drop-off catering to nearby venues, rental properties, and event spaces throughout the North Palm Springs area and the greater Coachella Valley.
