It snowed during our visit, which made the whole experience feel straight out of a movie. I went with friends, and the views from the top were unreal—mist rolling through the peaks, everything blanketed in white. The boardwalk was still walkable, just a bit slick. Definitely dress warm and give yourself time to take it all in. Worth every minute.

Definitely worth the ride up to the top. Amazing views from the ride up above the snow covered pines. We went up late afternoon and came back early evening. The hike out to Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station National Historic Site is also a must do at the top.

Loved this! The gondola ride was great. The view from the top is amazing! The actual trails at the top were closed when visited but there was still space and short trail to walk at the top to enjoy the view. There also an outdoor restaurant at the top. Small line to enter the gondola ride but moved quickly. The staff were also really friendly. Would recommend checking ticket prices online and if trails are open prior to going.
