Jackson Hole Aerial Tramway

Yesterday, after breakfast and some shopping in Jackson, Wyoming, Mitch Geriminsky and I headed over to Teton Village to ride the Jackson Hole Aerial Tramway.

Luckily, we were able to buy discount tickets in Jackson, so the price was $30.00 each.

There is RV parking in the "ranch" area of Teton Village with a courtesy shuttle. After being shuttled to the tramway station, we proceeded to get in line for the ride. It is a 4,000 foot climb from the bottom station to the top station (around 10,000 feet in elevation at the top).

At the top, there's really not much to do, although there is a snack bar there. It was a bit cold there as well. But, the views of Jackson Hole were spectacular. Since it was cloudy out, we were unable to see the Grand Tetons.

The ride itself is about ten minutes long. Was it worth $30.00? I'd say no. Unless one goes there to ski during the winter months where there are skiing trails from the top, I don't feel it is worth $30.00, even though it was a discounted price. But, at least it was something to do and the views spectacular.

As the saying goes, "Your mileage may vary."
