I am terrified of heights.....a real chicken! LOL! My husband has always wanted to go on this tram, so I decided to deal with my fear and go with him. It was scary but well worth it! Oh I nearly forgot to mention that the floor rotates as you stand there so it is difficult to hold on to anything to steady yourself!

We are nearly at the top here.

A very interesting and well taken set RE. This series reminded me of our visit to the Sandia Peak tram at Albuquerque, NM a few years ago. If you ever have the chance (and if you have become somewhat accustomed to them), I could recommend it.

We went up that tram many years ago. To our surprise we encountered heavy snow at the top. Laughing at this, I forgot that the top was down on our convertible at the base, and, yes, it did get rained on.
A beautiful spot no matter how you look at it. djt

Oh my goodness, I hope there was not too much damage to your car! It was very snowy up there!
