- ARA RSep 21, 20255.0We've ridden quite a few aerial trams over the years, this one at Palisades Tahoe is one of the best. The views you get at the top, on a clear day, are breathtaking and there is even a little museum and club set up within the trams base. In any event, I highly recommend this experience in the off season at the resort. It's a fantastic activity, we were lucky enough to ride it up and back for a wedding ceremony!
- SZSam ZachariaSep 12, 20254.0Enjoyable ride. Feel like travelling in a bus in air. Totally different experience than Gondola.
- CBchris bringazeSep 3, 20255.0I thought I'd be scared but I wasn't. The observation area was so quiet and peaceful. My brother and I stayed up there for a couple hours.
