Skyride to the Sunset at Arizona Snowbowl

ARIZONA SNOWBOWL OFFERS UNIQUE SUNSET  CHAIRLIFT SKYRIDE  WHAT? Sunset Chairlift Ride:  Friday, June 14, and every second Friday of the month through October.   Scenic Chairlift Rides 10am - 4pm, Friday, Saturdays and Sundays through the summer. "The higher you go, the longer you'll see the sun sinking into the West..." "The Chairlift Ride offers one of the most beautiful sights and adventures in the Southwest," said National Park Service Interpretive Ranger John Westerlund. "The chairlift goes from 9,500 to 11,500 feet in elevation and is slowed down to about a third of its ski-season speed. This gives guests a fantastic opportunity to really look out across Arizona's vast open lands dotted with cinder cones. You glide through various life zones from the cork bark fir, the Douglas fir and aspens to the Alpine Tundra. What's also fascinating is that at 11,500 feet, you are higher than the tops of many ski lifts around the Intermountain West!" Westerlund recommends being prepared with a light jacket and binoculars. "You can see the Red Rocks of Oak Creek Canyon, the mountains around Sedona, west Flagstaff, the Mogollon Rim, Mingus Mountain, the 'J' on the mountain in Jerome, the airfield out in Prescott and the Grand Canyon!" WHEN? Normal days and hours for the Scenic Chairlift Ride are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, along with holiday Mondays throughout the summer. On Sunset Chairlift Ride Fridays, hours will be extended to 6 p.m. Those not riding may purchase the barbecue dinner separately at the Peak Side Café in the Agassiz Lodge. Ride tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children and seniors. Those under 7 or over 70 ride for free! In addition, live music will add to the festive atmosphere on weekend afternoons at the Peak Side Café.
