Ride Through Idaho’s Wintery Landscape On The Scenic Silver Mountain Gondola

Winter in Idaho is impressive. The blanket of snow that covers the ground and the frosted trees create a scene that is absolutely magical. While you can always enjoy these winter landscapes on a scenic drive, a hike, or even a sleigh ride, one of the best is on a gondola ride in Idaho. At Silver Mountain Resort, located in Kellogg, you can ride through Idaho’s beautiful wintery landscape high in the air. It will give you a whole new outlook on this chilly, yet beautiful, time of year.

Silver Mountain Resort is a popular place to visit regardless of the time of year. In the winter, this ski resort becomes a favorite place for skiing, snowboarding, and even snow tubing.

However, you don’t have to soar down the mountain on a pair of skis to enjoy the beauty of this area. Rather, you can take a ride on a scenic gondola.

The scenic gondola ride at Silver Mountain Resort is the longest gondola ride in the United States. It will take you on a 3.1-mile journey above the snow-covered ground below.

This gondola ride is more than 30 years old. At its debut, it was the longest single-stage gondola in the world.

While on the gondola at Silver Mountain Resort in Idaho, you can sit back and enjoy the view around you. Being so high up in the air, you’ll be able to enjoy the winter landscape near and off in the distance.

You may even feel like you are soaring above the clouds.
