  • Any of y'all who know me well are likely aware that good gondola rides are something I greatly enjoy. The gondola at Jackson Hole is one I always have difficulty driving by without taking. I've been up it at least 4 times now, and am already looking forward to the NEXT time (whenever that might be).
  • It really is different each time: I've been up at the top at times when it was totally freezing and windy (even when it was calm and mild at the base). Today it was amazingly mild: So much so that there were lots of paragliders taking advantage of the perfect conditions (Notice the one just to your left from the gondola).
  • Bev is talking to a paraglider instructor. You'll see part of their conversation in the next video (good luck understanding it, though).
  • It's a 12-minute ride, rising 4,139 feet to the top of Rendezvous Mountain. This video will get you up there in only 3 minutes and 34 seconds, however.<br /> <br /> Music by Kevin MacLeod at the excellent royalty-free music website of <a href="http://incompetech.com/">http://incompetech.com/</a>

  • On top of Rendezvous Mountain, looking north, watching storms form over the Grand Teton.
  • I guess there was a little wind up there.

  • Gotta admit that paragliding looks much more relaxing than donning the jet pack I used to dream about.<br /> <br /> Music by Kevin MacLeod of <a href="http://incompetech.com/">http://incompetech.com/</a>
  • We'll wait for the next one.
  • Amazing views from up here. This is looking toward Jackson, which is to our southeast.
  • And our video down will take you only 2 minutes and 15 seconds.<br /> <br /> Music by Kevin MacLeod of <a href="http://incompetech.com/">http://incompetech.com/</a>
  • One last look at the rugged Tetons.
  • There is also a small chair lift used by mountain bikers. The ticket price for the gondola allows you to take this lift as a non-biking tourist.

  • The bikers get off at the top. Tourists stay on for the round trip.
  • Last time we were in Jackson, Zac found this cool Mexican restaurant. We enjoyed it so much that time that we looked forward to returning. I highly recommend their fajitas. I think Bev and Bri were actually a little disappointed this time, but they did not get fajitas.
