I have been wanting to stop to do the tram for years and this was the right time to do it. The trip up is beautiful. Takes about 3 mins + allowing for stops to let others on. We stepped outside when we got up top and the view was breathtaking. Highly recommended

When we arrived we heard a couple of people next to their cars grumbling on whether or not to pay $10 to go to the top.

The ride up was fun and we got a great view all around! The staff is so friendly and fun to chat with!

I get a little nervous on rides like this, and this was no exception, because it is quite high in the mountains (though probably no more than 10 feet from the ground below). The enclosed gondola rode smoothly and took only about 8 minutes to get to the top. It is windy at the top, so the gondola moved a... More
