• "The Tram is rated as the No: 1 attraction and is a must do if you're in the area. We've been lucky enough to have done it several times and it's great every time. Whether you want to travel up and spend the day hiking in the wilderness or just look at the stunning views over a cocktail and /or meal, the experience of riding the tram is all part of the trip. "

• "If, I were to experience this again, which I think I will, I would make a day of it. The weather was a big factor..it was beautiful! 85 at the base and 60 on top. The sun really warmed the lovely fresh air. I would plan a hike ( dress appropriately) carry water, etc. etc. I would make a reservation at the restaurant and end the day with a few glasses of wine and , hopefully, and good meal. Sounds like a perfect day, doesn't it?"

We loved it, too. It's hard to beat a day that includes sunbathing and four feet of snow. Pretty good glass of wine available up there, as well."
