Get here early. I read reviews and it was suggested to get here by 9:30am. I'm happy I listened, so I'm spreading the word also. If you love nature and mountains, this is a great place to explore. BEWARE... a lot of uphill walking in the parking lot if the bus is running yet. The aerial tram was a very fun and interesting ride up the 8,500 sq.ft. once at the top, it is just beautiful all around. Specially if the clouds aren't out and thick. There are a lot of hiking trails, but remember, that big trail you walk DOWN to get to the trails is the same trail you take to get back UP. I've been to this place 3 times in the past 30yrs. The natural beauty never disappoints.
