We really enjoyed the tram ride, but it did seem a little pricey once we realized the walk to get down to the main trails was going to be more strenuous than we prepared for. At $30 each plus another $15 to park, I'm not sure it was quite worth the price this trip since we were restricted to the views we were able to see from around the building. That being said, the view were fantastic and the young ranger that talked with us about the woodpeckers he was caring for was very friendly and informative. Now that we know what to expect, next time we will bring more water, better shoes and a picnic lunch. The memento pictures that were taken felt like a bit of a money-grab since we were not able to purchase an individual photo and were forced to buy a packet at $35. We declined, but would gladly have paid $10 for one picture.

Really enjoyed the way to the top, even though the tram was very crowded. I hadn't been to a cable car with a rotating platform and it was so unique. I was expecting the cart to rotate on the way to the bottom to the top, and I thought that this time I would enjoy it even more as it was much less crowded, but there wasn't a rotation on the way back down. If visiting on a weekend, it's best to get tickets more than a week in advance, otherwise, you may have to wait for 30 minutes to an hour for the next available ride.
