Snowbowl Scenic Gondola - Flagstaff, Arizona

Well, luckily, they have snowmaking. There hasn’t been a lot of snow in the 24/25 season. I mostly go Monday through Friday to snowboard. There’s a lot of people that complain about the lack of snow but at least they have snowmaking so you can still enjoy the mountain. I definitely recommend buying a small retractable lock for snowboard as there’s been a lot of theft this year. You can purchase a retractable combination lock for about $10 on Amazon. It’s a very good investment. I’m also added an apple tracker to mine, but I’m sure these professional thieves just knock them off as soon as they see them so I’m trying to find a way to hide it better. The food is expensive, but what do you expect. At least they allow you to bring your own food to the picnic tables.

Nice view, pretty quick ride, only thing when we went we were told they don’t do scenic tours until a certain time like after 12 or 1 pm which I don’t think it says on the website but they let us go because it wasn’t to busy at 11am.

This was definitely worth it and the views are incredible.
I got here just after opening and there was no more than a 10-minute wait to get on the lift. The view going up was incredible and when I got to the top, there were several good places to take photos from the edge of the mountain.

Took the Gondola ride on a day that wasn't too busy. It was a very pleasant experience. The view from the top was amazing. The ride was fairly quick, seemed shorter than what is stated, but again was not a busy day. The prices seemed all over the place if you look at the website, meaning some days are cheaper than others. I looked the night before we went, it said 25 dollars, the day of when I bought it onsite it was 37 dollars, but received a voucher also to use in the amount of 10 dollars at one of their on site options (bar, restaurant, gift shop)

I'd say once at the top take the trail a little higher for some better pictures than at the gondola level. It's not easy if you have disabilities or leg problems though.

This is a must do! Got tickets online and they were a bit cheaper than buying them at the Snowbowl. I think we went at the tail end of the Aspen’s changing colors. It was a 10ish minute ride up and 10ish minutes down. There’s space to hike up a bit and places to see the overlook of Flagstaff. Prepare to wait in line on busy days and possibly being seated with other people. We went right when they opened on a Monday and got our own Gondola. By the time we came down, the line was longer. They have a few gift shops. A bar and a spot you can order food. There was a fire pit going, lots of seating and other activities for kids to do. This season might be closing soon, but plan for next fall! Plenty of parking in unpaved lots. There are some trail heads you can park at and hike. There are some pull off spots going up the mountain to hike into the Aspen’s.

Fun day! Was a long wait in line. They were not loading the Cars full of people which backed everything up. We still had a great time. Got our spiked hot chocolate and hung around the fire.

Very well worth the time and money. 1.5 hrs away from south rim gc.
