Our tour guide ELIZABETH was very well organized. There was no doubt about where and when we were to be. Also Elizabeth was very knowledgeable about the local area and the mountain. Elizabeth had a good answer for ever question and advice from years of experience.

Stunning views from the top. Sun came out just as the cable car reached the top. Too many people put into the cable car. This should be fixed when the new cable car (holds 120 people vs 44) is ready. Also, terrible traffic jam on the way home. Same thing happened two years ago. Driver does an outstanding job of finding alternate routes to avoid traffic.
