Here's some shots from a tour we did in the Wallowas off the tram back in the day when they had the sense to run the thing in the winter.
If you get a chance, send the owners of the tram a note expressing interest:

Also of note for your hutheads out there:
http://www.wingski.com/ - the 6 day Aneroid tour is fantastic.

edgDo you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

nice old TR, but still stoke
when we were up on the tram over Labor Day weekend, I could see an infinite number of lines possible off the top of the tram.
asked the guys at the tram if they'd consider opening again for the winter but never got a definitive "yes" or "no". Sounds like they might run the tram if they get enough inquiry again this winter. Keep on 'em to keep it open...

So why do they call this a tram? It looks like a gondola to me.

It is a gondola, not fixed grip, but they call it a tram. Originally Posted by The AD
