Hikers: This is a 3,000+ ft climb over 5 miles one way to the summit. This is an arduous hike. Please be prepared with plenty of water for you and your furry friends. For those looking for a shorter option, you can take the 0.7 mile Roundhouse Connector to access the Roundhouse Restaurant and the Roundhouse Gondola or continue your hike to the summit where you can download on the lifts for breathtaking views on your way back down to River Run Base.
