If itā€™s snowing at the top, Iā€™d wait until it isnā€™t. ********************************************** Lots of places you can see snow. I was hoping a for better scenic views. Unfortunately, Viator vouchers are not transferable to a different date once purchased.

Great views at the top. We did not walk any trails due to my knee problems. Only negative is you have to pay to park on top of the fee to ride the tram. Some lots are a hike, and they have shuttles that pick you up, so I guess the parking fee pays for that....

Beautiful place. Nice people. Many were bringing young children to play in the snow. Very clean, well organized and friendly. Loved the tram floors that moved in a circle so that you got a panoramic view.
