I didn’t get very many good pictures on the way up the mountain….too crowded.

My hubby is so strong, he was able to push that big tree….just a little!

It was a little chilly up there on the mountain, but the sun helped keep us warm!

The tram has a floor that slowly moves, allowing everyone to get a 350-degree view of the scene!

We’re almost back to the bottom!

Safely at the bottom once more, we got a picture together using the camera’s timer.
