Great views, and a wonderful experience. A Beautiful Canyon up to 8000 feett

A Day well spent and worth the $$, although Senior tickets can be bought at The Window inside the building for a few $$'s less. Just a great way to do a wonderful adventure and day hike if you wish, which is a big part of the experience

Beautiful Day

The total experience of the tram ride, the view from the top, and the day was more than I expected. All the employees were very accommodating and helpful. The restaurant's food was really good, and the service was just what a diner expects.

Best way to cool off the desert heat.

I had a great time with the whole experience. I just didn’t know initially if I was to park at the city office or if there was going to be parking up the highway. But that was my only moment of confusion.

I will not purchase tickets again through your site nor will I recommend.

Drove 45 minutes to location and paid $15 for parking and we were told the ticket was not good until the next day. It did not give me an option to choose a day so I assumed it was valid for any day. This was very disappointing cause we lost money and time.
