The tram ticket is for the round-trip (up and down) or you can ride up and walk down the 2 mile, dirt maintenance road. (Proper footwear is advised). Dogs are welcome and may be counted in the capacity restriction depending on size/weight.

The top of the Tramway is at 12,012’ in elevation. Sunscreen is a must and it will be cooler up there so bring a jacket in case you get chilly.
