Best Overall:
The Aerial Tram
It's a bird...it's a plane...it's Big Red! The only way to get views this super is via the Aerial Tram.
Enjoy breathtaking scenery as you glide skyward 4,139 vertical feet during a 12-minute ride to the summit of Rendezvous Mountain.
Bonus: The Tram drops you off in the perfect location for quick access to 4 of the other sightseeing spots on this list.
Grand Teton Skywalk
Experience the beauty of Grand Teton National Park and Bridger-Teton National Forest from our skywalk at the summit of Rendezvous Mountain. Check out the interpretive experience signage that begins at the base of the Aerial Tram and leads you on a journey through time and nature at the summit.
Best Dining Views:
The Deck
There's no better place to enjoy specialty drinks, appetizers and shared plates than The Deck at Piste.
There's even free live music on select nights, to make the expansive views and delicious food even more special.
Just imagine: you're surrounded by friends with a drink in hand, enjoying live music while a beautiful mountain sunset emerges after a thrilling day of activities on the mountain... it's hard to beat that.
Highest Viewpoint:
Top of the World
Views from 10,450' would normally require a strenuous full-day hike to enjoy but our Aerial Tram gets you straight to the good stuff.
After exiting the Tram, take a short walk to the start of the Top of the World trail at the peak of the mountain, to enhance the view even more with binoculars.
There's nowhere else to get this unique zoomed-in eye-level view of the Grand Teton, a mountain special enough to have a national park named after (Grand Teton National Park).
Fun Fact: The ridgeline across the Top of the World trail separates Grand Teton National Park from Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Best for Families:
Sweetwater Gondola
Enjoy scenic views, watch bikers go huge in the bike park down below and then hop off at the mid-station to enjoy a picnic at the tables outside of Solitude Station. What really makes this the perfect spot for families is the Wild Woods playground located right behind Solitude Station.
After your children let some energy loose, head back down the gondola or continue up for a mid-mountain start to the Wildflower Trail.
Best Mountain Views:
Cody Viewing Platform
Cody Peak sure is an impressive view. Hop on the Top of the World trail at the top of the Aerial Tram for a quick hike to the viewing platform.
You might be inspired to see this stunning peak from additional angles by extending your hike into Rock Springs Loop or Cody Bowl Trail.
Fun Fact: Cody Bowl is the last place snow persists in the summer, so you may even see some motivated skiers and snowboarders earning their turns out there.
Best Sunset Views:
Bridger Gondola
An evening gondola ride on the Bridger Gondola makes for a perfect end to the day. After departing the gondola, continue the sunset views with drinks on The Deck. While great in the evening, the Bridger Gondola is most definitely worth experiencing during the day too; it provides a great starting point for high-alpine hikes such as the Cirque Trail and Casper Ridge Loop.
Most Iconic:
Corbet's Couloir
The world-famous Corbet's Couloir has put daring skiers and snowboarders to the test ever since nineteen-year-old Lonnie Ball was the first to conquer it back in 1967. While typically associated with the winter, the view from the top in summer is possibly even more stunning. Don't miss the view of the couloir from the Aerial Tram as you approach the summit.
While looking out at the beautiful vista and the rugged walls of the couloir, just imagine what it must be like sending it into the couloir on a pair of skis and get hyped for next winter's Kings & Queens of Corbet's competition.
Most Unique:
Corbet's Cabin
Gourmet waffles at 10,450'? Yes please! There's no way you've eaten waffles with a view as good as the one from the deck outside Corbet's Cabin.
Its proximity to the Aerial Tram makes for a convenient stop as you check out the other sightseeing spots at the top of Rendevous Mountain.
