Superb gondola ride, chairlift experience and the view of the three lakes was stunning. Rock isle road hike back was also easy. Food was marvelous at the Trappers Cafe there! Rented bear spray, although saw none!!! Superb place! Never seen a gondola make a 90 degree turn like that and keep going!

Had so much fun finally seeing sunshine in the summer. Lots of parking, and not too crowded. Beautiful views and well maintained hikes with gravel paths. Only down side was the relentless horse flies. Bring bug spray, and make sure your body is covered. It's better to go on a day with some wind, keep the bugs down.
