Grace LOVES Gondolas!


We hiked up Sulphur Mountain on Sunday. It was good to just wake up, have breakfast and get up there first thing in the morning. Near the parking lot there was a great big elk. He was shiny and strong with a huge rack. We gave him a wide berth and then strolled up the mountain. Thanks to Kev for packing Grace up and thanks to Grace for being so patient. It started to rain when we were two thirds of the way to the top - so we pushed on. Grace was a really good sport. She wanted to ride that Gondola down - which is free if you hike up. It was a good heart-thumping hour and a half push. At the top there were people from all over; South Carolina, India, Egypt - all enjoying the view. Now when we look out the window at the gondola station perched on top of Sulphur Mountain Grace will know what it's like to be there. Maybe we should do this every Sunday...

  1. Is it back to being free for the ride down? I remember a couple of years ago they had changed it so you had to pay to ride down even if you hiked up (which is super lame).
