Each tram can hold up to 80 people and ascends 2,180 feet to near the 4,080 foot summit of the mountain.

At the tram stop, take a short walk up to the very summit of the mountain.

There's a small cafeteria at the summit, so you can grab a beer to enjoy while you gaze for miles toward Vermont and Canada.
