Jackson Hole Aerial Tram, Aerial tramway at Rendezvous Mountain, Wyoming, US.
The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram is an aerial tramway at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Wyoming that carries riders to the 3,185-meter summit of Rendezvous Mountain. Its red and black cabin, marked with white "JACKSON HOLE" lettering and a bucking horse silhouette, hangs from a grey metal arm and cables. The current tram holds 100 skiers and one operator in winter.
The original tramway was constructed in the 1960s to connect visitors with the mountain. A modern replacement system was installed in 2008, enhancing safety and capacity for year-round operations.
The tram is nicknamed the Musical Tram, and its cabin carries the white bucking-horse-and-rider silhouette of Jackson Hole. At the summit, Corbet's Cabin serves waffles that the resort calls World Famous, a stop for skiers in winter and sightseers in summer. The 2008 launch drew 20,000 people.
The ride takes only a few minutes, offering quick access to high elevations without strenuous hiking. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions and bring warmer layers, as temperatures drop significantly at the summit.
The tram is nicknamed the "Musical Tram" and has been called an icon of the valley. Its first version ran from July 31, 1966, and the replacement opened on December 20, 2008, after the Kemmerer family retired the original. The new tram cost $31 million, all funded by the resort.
