The view from the top of the tram is amazing! The ride up is pretty great as well, the gondola rotates 360 degrees while you travel up. Once you are there you can hike, have a snow ball fight or grab a meal in the restaurant.

This is a challenging trail to be sure. Take your time getting to the top, the views are rewarding. Make sure you take plenty of water with you and an energy bar! Some of the trail is closed from Feb thru May for the Big Horn Sheep.
