Opened in 1938, it was the first passenger aerial tramway in North America, offering breathtaking views of the White Mountains.

The tramway can carry up to 80 passengers per car, making it a popular choice for group visits.

Riders can observe the distinct rock formations and glacial features of Franconia Notch State Park from above.

The tramway operates from late May to mid-October, providing access to hiking trails and scenic vistas.
