Summer Season: Yes, the Explorer Gondola, Lone Peak Tram, and the Kircliff observatory are all ADA-accessible and ready to welcome wheelchair users. During the summer months, a 517-foot paved path (max slope 4.9%) connects the gondola and the tram, making the high-alpine experience accessible to all.
Winter Season: In winter, the Explorer Gondola is accessible for wheelchair users. Guests can unload at the midstation or top terminal of the gondola to take in the views. However, the connection path between the Explorer Gondola and Lone Peak Tram is snow-covered, which makes it unsuitable for wheelchairs and can be challenging for guests with limited mobility. We recommend reaching out to our guest services team ahead of your winter visit for more detailed information.
Scenic rides visiting Kircliff can leave the tram top terminal to explore the peak. Take in the 360-degree views and walk down to the titanic deck for another scenic overlook.
