Scenic Gondola Rides
Available May 23-26 & Then Daily Starting June 6th
What You’ll Experience
Soar high above the San Francisco Peaks and experience sweeping views of Northern Arizona – from ancient cinder cones and pine-covered ridges to the red rocks of Sedona and, on clear days, even the Grand Canyon!
Each round-trip lasts approximately 20-30 minutes, with time to explore at the top of the gondola terminal. Don’t forget your camera!
