Before You Hike

Mountain conditions can change quickly, so we recommend:

  • Checking current trail and weather conditions

  • Bringing water, food and extra layers

  • Wearing appropriate footwear

  • Knowing the final gondola download time

  • Choosing a trail that matches your experience

Make a Day of It

After your hike, stop by the Summit Lodge for food and refreshments, take in the views and enjoy the gondola ride back down.
