About Lone Peak Tram and Kircliff

The Explorer Gondola carries you more than a mile into the mountain to 9,000 feet and the Bowl; the Lone Peak Tram goes on to the summit at 11,166 feet. There, Kircliff, a two-storey glass observation deck with a glass floor over the fall line, offers 360-degree views across Yellowstone and the Tetons, with no ski gear needed. Winter scenic tickets for 2026/27 are coming soon.
