Stopped here a part of our Rocky Mountaineer Rail tour. There were about 25 of us in this group. It was early in the morning and the place was already getting busy. Our guides got us tickets and we ended up waiting for about 30 minutes before we could go up. I took the opportunity to get a hot chocolate from the Starbucks located in the same building.
The gondola ride is very nice. For those people who have height issues, it can be a little scary, but the entire structure is very sound, and the ride up is relatively smooth (with the exception of the occasional bump when the car goes over the support towers).
The building on top is very nice. It has rest room, gift shop, signage and history, and an observation deck that lets you see for miles! Stunning views, all the way around. There is a well built walking deck that will take you a few hundred yards to the old weather station. It's worth the walk to go out. You'll learn about the local area, and the incredible history of the tower. You will be at the highest peak on Sulphur Mountain.
A real highlight of the trip.
