Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Took the gondola to the very top of the mountain at 11500 feet above sea level. Fun ride to the top.”
“Absolutely perfect!! You are able to get a drink and go on the gondola for the most amazing ride and views.”
“This place is awesome. The lift experience was amazing. You cannot challenge that view. My only critique, coming from a non skier, and a first time lift rider, I wish there would have been a lock on the harness keeping you in. Moving on, do this if you are near. Will not regret!”
“Being from the valley of the Sun, and was 115°yesterday. The 67° at the top was awesome plus the wind was blowing”
“We did the scenic gondola ride and I went to the top, beautiful view! Well worth it! Buy your tickets ahead of time cuz they're cheaper that way”
“Enjoyed the ride in the Gondola! Great spectacular views, with cooler weather! Be careful and wear a hat so you don't get sun burned.”
“It a beautiful scenery. My first experience in a chair lift, scary but fun. I will do it again maybe when there is snow, summer get away in a cooler area with high elevation. Use a lot of sun screen if you go.”
“Beautiful place for scenic view of San Francisco peaks, Flagstaff and around. Gondola scenic ride is a must activity and will be a wonderful experience for your memory.”
