Summit Express Gondola
This aerial gondola is one of the North Shore's most popular attractions, taking you on a scenic ride to the top of Moose Mountain. Rising 1,000 feet above Lake Superior, the gentle ride is an experience not to be missed.
Keep your eyes open for eagles, pine marten, bear, timber wolves, and moose, on your ride. Upon the terminal at the top of Moose Mountain get out and check out our observation deck, explore hiking trails, and stop at the Summit Chalet for gorgeous views and lunch or a snack.
