The Scenic Chairlift shuttles you to an elevation of 11,500 feet for panoramic views atop this extinct volcano. From this elevation, you can see over 70 miles of world-class scenery — including the Grand Canyon and downtown Flagstaff.
The Skyride offers great opportunities for photography, viewing wildlife, hiking, or just enjoying the peaceful ride up and down Arizona’s highest mountains. Once you reach the top, a Forest Service interpretative specialist is available to assist you and answer any questions regarding the biology, geology and history of the region.
Enjoy live music in the afternoons and Saturdays and Sundays (weather permitting). See full summer schedule of events here. This 90 minute activity is perfect for the entire family and can be added to any itinerary.
The Scenic Chairlift operates on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays, 10 AM to 4 PM Memorial Day Weekend through the fall colors in mid-October.
The Scenic Chairlift Ride is approximately 25 minutes long in each direction. Please be prepared for cooler conditions at the top of the ride and the possibility of inclement weather.
