The Amazing Utah Restaurant You Can Only Get To By Gondola
When it’s hot outside, it’s time to head up the mountain to find some fresh, cool air. Why not find a spot where you can enjoy lunch with a killer view? The Needles Lodge at Snowbasin is open for lunch every Saturday until October 7th. The view from the lodge (which is halfway up the mountain) is incredible…but the gondola ride is half the fun!
The tram is located right by Grizzly Center at the base of the mountain. Summer gondola tickets are $14 for the day, and the gondola runs from 10 AM to 6 PM until October 8th.
The vertical rise from the base to the restaurant is 2,317 feet. You'll feel as though you're floating above the mountain, with a bird's eye view the entire time.
The Lodge is open for summer lunch every Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM, until October 7th.
Pictured is the Buckaroo Burger (1/3 pound beef, brown sugar baked beans sliced brisket, onions, and pepper jack cheese) and the Jamaican Burger (1/3 pound beef, jerked pork belly, mango coconut slaw and gouda cheese).
Brunch is $44/adults, $22/children ages 6-11. The price includes a gondola ticket. Advanced reservations are highly recommended, and must be made by 4:30 pm on the Saturday before you plan to brunch. Call 801-620-1021.
Bike the 26 miles of trails at Snowbasin, which connect to forest service trails for a total of 50 miles of mountain biking bliss.
