And yet another option is to park a car at the bottom of the tram,
drive back to Idyllwild, hike up Devil's Slide, to the top of S.J.
Peak, then down the tram--it's *free* in that direction!

Or take the tram up, hike to S.J. Peak, and back to the tram in
1 day.  You'll find out quickly how/if altitude sickness bothers
you!

P.S.  The Devil's Slide trail, while well maintained, is not a
trivial hike, i.e. it's *steep*.  Up to the top of S.J. Peak and
down from Idyllwild in 1 day can be done, but it's a killer.
