Fun ride up Heavenly Mountain. The first stop was an observation deck to see a beautiful view of Lake Tahoe. After that went to the top and visited the lodge for a drink.

So nice to be able to walk from our hotel and take the Gondola up to go snowboarding. You also can't beat the view.

We loved it here!!!! Summer time but awesome. Rode the gondola to the top then a ski lift a bit higher. No zip lines for adults open so that was a bummer. Small hikes and some cheese burgers at the ski lodge and we had a great time. So beautiful.

Beautiful!!! You have to make time to take this trip up the gondolas to the mountain top. During the first stop you get to walk around the observation deck. The views are amazing!!! The second stop takes you to the ski area. Spend some time enjoying the views and the people skiing. Even if you don't ski, just watching is beautiful. Once you take gondola down, there is no stopping so enjoy as much as you can on the observation deck.
