This is such a fun activity for a weekend adventure. Ive been on it twice and both times I was just as impressed with the mechanics of the tramway and enthralled with the views at the top. The ascent is around 900ft with the gondola moving at a speed of, I believe, 9mph so its nothing extreme. This is definitely a must if you have visitors from out of town. Just, overall, a lot of fun.

First time doing anything aerial and my husband and I loved it. The park rangers were very informative and knowledge. Great view of the mountain ranges and cities. On the website it suggested that you call before arriving due to weather conditions, please call ahead. A must do if youre in the area.

Great place in El Paso Texas... You will love this experience! Once you are taken up the mountain, you have the option of staying and doing some sightseeing...or if you are up to it!... an awesome hike! They have access to a trail way above the desert sky... Its beautiful up here. We went early since it takes about 10-15 mins to load everyone in and take them up in groups of 6-8 depending. You could have a small picnic since the wind up there does not really allow for a full picnic. The trip up is pretty awesome! My daughter was a little scared but once we got up there, she absolutely loved it! Oh and take some money, they have a gift shop at the top. I cant believe that I grew up in El Paso and I never visited this park before. Parking is free but limited. Restrooms are clean. You do have the option to just hike for the day and I believe that its free. You can see all of El Paso, parts of New Mexico and Juarez!

Great place to visit if youre in the El Paso TX area. Cost for the tram is $8.00 The views from above is truly impressive. Great place for photography if youre into it. Time is limited at the top which isnt what i expected. Overall, definitely go check this spot out. Parking is free but limited as well.

Very neat views! Cool experience for sure!

A must for native El Pasoans or those new to the area. Gives great views of nearly the entire city, Mexico, and New Mexico without the need for hiking (unless you want to). Theres plenty of space on the viewing platform; I never had to fight for viewing space. Unfortunately, the gondolas lack any kind of air conditioning, so expect the four-minute ride to be stuffy. Theres no running water at the top either (but there is a bathroom) so bring plenty of bottled water unless you want to purchase some at the gift shop.

Great and cheap way to get to see all of El Paso and beyond. 360° view at the top with maps that point out all the different landmarks. We went on a Saturday evening and no one was there, but we were told it does get insanely crowded when deployments are about to head out from Fort Bliss and families are visiting.

Great family experience. The rangers were knowledgeable and super friendly. The views are amazing.

Awesome Place! Come check it out.

Beautiful views! Definitely worth it

Nice hike up & down to the platform. You can also take the tram up and hike down or vice - versa. If you hike it up, dont forget to go register with the Ranger....Have Fun!

I absolutely loved it, so beautiful my fiance and I had a blast cant wait to take my kids on that ride, the view is amazing

Beautiful! I live in KC and every time I go to El Paso, this place was always closed! It was either due to rain or snow. However, this was a wonderful experience going up the mountain on the tram. The Park Ranger was very informative and made it a pleasant ride. We went on a sunny winter day and it was way colder up on the mountain. There’s hiking trails, awesome scenic views overlooking all of El Paso and Juarez, Mx. Must see if you’re in El Paso!

Always a great time when I visit. If you’re in El Paso, don’t forget to visit this place.

The line can be a little but its worth the wait. Smooth ride on the tram. Beautiful mountain scenery. Very nice view of El Paso, Ciudad Juarez (Mexico), and New Mexico. Will visit again next time Im in El Paso.

I had a great experience here! I was a little nervous riding to the top, but the views were certainly worth it. The guides were very friendly. Definitely something that anyone visiting El Paso needs to do.

Absolutely outstanding views amazing staff and something to do with family or friends. As a out of towner this is something I will bring and recommend everyone to do.

360 deg view of El Paso, Juarez and surroundings. Nice ride on the top of the mountain. Great short activity.

A truly awe inspiring experience. worth the wait in line for a ride to the top of ranger peak. the staff were friendly and informative. One of the best things to experience in El Paso

Hands down an El Paso must. Very special views from this place. Its only open on weekends and I recommend sunrise or sunset to beat the crowds. Its much colder at the top so bring a jacket!

Amazing views at the top!! You can see the whole city of El Paso from the top. Well worth the visit!!

Great views....a little chilly but it is December and we went at 5pm..... Due to it being the holiday season it was a long wait.... Only 8 people per gondola and there are only 2.... The fee is reasonable $8 per adult and $4 per child. Make sure you take some warm clothes though..... They stop selling tickets at 7 and they are only open on the weekend.... Had a blast with the grandbaby though even though she was scared most of the ride up. LOL Make sure you get some quarters before you go up so you can use the telescopes.... Good fun!!!!

Great viewing of West, Downtown, and East El Paso. Windy and chilly.Heard they are shutting it down. Check before you go.

Nice scenery. Definitely will be back again.

If you have visitors come to El Paso, it is a must take place. Also great for a Day date. Had a little picnic at McKelligon Canyon just down the road after coming off the mountain.

What a wonderful surprise! Stunning views from the top of the Southern most tip of the Rocky mountains.

The ticket is $8 per person. The view is quite phenomenal, but the wait can be very long due to the reason that they only have one cable car. It takes a while to load only 5 to 6 people at a time.

Directissmo trail. Very nice. Definitely need to bring back the tramway. Would be a great addition again.

Great views, friendly employees and a fun ride to the top-definitely coming back and bringing some friends with me!

Super fun place! Ticket is only $8!!!! More than worth it!

A great place, I had a great time. The ranger said it was normally very busy and I’d come during a lull. A lot of people showed up before I left. The tram is great the mountain is great. Looking down over El Paso and Mexico is awesome. I think I just read on google that it’s permanently closed. I hope that’s not true. It was a nice part of my August road trip and I’d like to go back again.

It is a good park. You can have a good experience

Great views! My daughter and I arrived after dark at around 18:00 on a Saturday. There was no line. We waited less than 10 minutes for the next tram. The Park Ranger was friendly and informative. The views were beautiful! We stayed less than hour at the park. I’d highly recommend a visit and would return again. There was a rocky walking trail which I’d like to explore on our next visit.

Had a great time hiking up and down the trail. We couldn’t come down the tramway due to high winds, but we really enjoy the hike.

Offers a challenging hike up the mountain to get to the tram, and a nice ride back to the car. If youre not up for a hike then you can ride the tram up as well. The mountain is challenging but can be managed easily, my 6 year old handled the climb without a problem. Bring lots of water!

Look at the older and the renovated tramcars side by side, great views of the city... Unfortunately it was closed, and not yet scheduled to be opened again, but still a great place to look out and hike around even if the cablecars arent in service

Hope this place can open up again, we walked around a bit... Great view of #elpasostrong El Paso, and you can look at the older and renovated tramcars.

Hi, I am the current Superintendent for your Wyler Aerial Tramway State Park. Besides the best view in El Paso, we offer you friendly and knowledgeable staff of rangers, and memories worth sharing. Please, elevate your sense of adventure, and come up for a visit. See you soon.

Must do in El Paso, easily the best view of the city (as well as Mexico and NM). The park rangers were very knowledgeable and had a lot of good information. There is also hiking available at the top, but you must purchase that separately. I definitely recommend going early; lines can be up to an hour and if the parking lot fills up then you’re out of luck. In the winter months it gets dark early enough to see the sunset before it closes.

Very good view from the top (you are able to see 3 states). Even with a small line, plan on waiting about an hour to get into the tram. The ride up is smooth and provides a good view. Disappointing that at the top the small shop was closed so no drinks were available.

Great spot to visit. Feels like youre on top of the world. On a hot day, the breeze feel great and the scenery is spectacular. Gift shop is a decent size and you may need a something to quench your thirst if youre here in the heat. Price is modest and affordable even for families. You can easily see across the border into Mexico on a clear day. A unique look over El Paso.

I hiked it today. tram was closed since its February. Awesome, view. I hiked to the top of the mountain saw Mexico. An intense hike. Im not a hiker so I had some difficulty going down the hill. I kept thinking theyd see me on the 8 0 clock news, but their was an old cellphone and I think the remainder of a bomber plane at the top. For me it was a challenge.

Fun-scary ride to the top and back. Rangers are super helpful and friendly. Great for couples. Unless the tram is full of kids. Then you just take the next one. They run every five minutes.

Love the views here. The employees are so informative and funny. Cant remember the gentlemans name but he made the individuals in my cart feel safe while dishing out some facts. He made us laugh all the way down and took the time to answer additional questions we had after we unboarded.

Great view from the top. The public can only ride the tram on their weekend hours. The lines can get long. Get there when they open on the weekend. Its a short ride up. You can walk around to see the great views and look in the gift shop. If the weather is good, you can checkin with a park ranger and do some light hiking around.

Great hiking trails. directissimo trail was pretty intense. first Sunday of the month theyve got the womens hike... free of charge, hike up with the rangers and free gondola ride down. highly recommend for beginner and advanced hikers.

Great place to see great views of the city and the country! The park rangers are very helpful and have plenty of information to pass on. Good time for all ages. The ride up and down is very easy and not scary at all.

Not a long line or wait to get to the top. The view was great, you can so much to include looking unto Juarez Mexico. Nice cool breeze, small siting area, could be a bit bigger. They had a cute souvenir shop with small snacks available as well. Over all nice afternoon trip, especially if you have kids.

Great views. Bring water because there is none for sale until you get up there. Be prepared to wait in line.

Great view! Highly recommend taking the trail down if you are able to. It is challenging but worth the +1 hour hike down. Follow directions and dont get lost.

No long lines. Excellent views. Worth taking the ride. Gift shop was closed.

Beautiful views of the city. Employees are are friendly and informative. I cant wait to go in the fall to see the sunset.

Interesting but to hot to handle. The gift ship was closed. The wait in the one to hi up and come down was ok as well. Great views.

Excellent views of Juarez and El Paso. We had to wait in line for about almost 2 hours and it was quite hot. It is only open a few days a week, like Friday through Sunday or something.

It was a hot day when we went but if you have an opportunity to go, you will not be disappointed. Its amazing.

Fun place for families to visit. Hiking trail to old crash site is not for kids though.

Definitely worth the $8 price tag! Best views of El Paso and New Mexico! Great place to take some nice photos. Interesting display of previous trams to the peak! Small but quaint gift shop at the top.

Closed but not perminantly. I bet they will get funding eventually to reopen it. Very sad its an awesome view and a fun ride at a reasonable price. We lost a major El paso attraction and this needs to get resolved asap! The staff were great theres a gift shop at the summit. You can even chose to hike back down one if several trails. Not to mention it cooler up there so its a great place to go to beat the summer heat. Ok ill say it, it can be a romantic place too. It was for us.

Bring a hat and a jacket. Its windy and cold.

Amazing experience. Went at night, need to see it in the day now. Professional guides added to the experience with their knowledge. Great views. Can be a long wait, but that is to be expected.

A lifelong favorite for a family excursion on a beautiful day, this fun and historical outing takes your breath away by following a lovely little trip through a secluded hillside with a roomy, panoramic suspended gondola ride up the mountainside to the radio towers above, complete with gift shop, plenty of walking platforms and benches, and of course, the majestic yet tranquil scenes of three states and two nations from over a mile up. As a native El Pasoan, Im always happy to visit this gem of an attraction at our mountain state park.

2 adults 1 child, 20 dollars. Get there early as it can get quite busy. We arrived 10 mins before it opened and already a small line was formed. Seen it once, kind of place.

If you are passing through El Paso over the weekend or stationed at Fort Bliss, I highly recommend you take the tramway at least once. The operator in the tram was very knowledgeable and friendly, the ride up is very fun and informative, and when you get to the top, it is a great view of El Paso, Juarez, and New Mexico. I recommend taking the tram up and hiking down the trail if you have the time. If not, or you have family or friends visiting, take them round trip on the tramway, it is worth it. The only downsides are that they are only open on the weekends and the price is a little more than you would expect, but worth going at least once nonetheless.

Nice views of El Paso and a great place to take family from out of town.

It was very entertaining

Rangers are nice and the park is well kept.Parking is good with lots of spits but the drive to the tramway is really steep. Cars in poor shape might want to avoid. One car overheated the auto trans on the way up.The Rangers + Directissimo trail was more difficult than I thought it would be. I am not experienced in rocky trails and it took a while to see the trail without trying.If I do it again I will wear gloves (hot rocks) and bring more water. And two poles instead of a walking stick.

Amazing

Ive visited Wyler Aerial Tramway a few times through the years and have always enjoyed it. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend visiting. You can see for miles in all directions.

Nice views. Not expensive at all. Wasnt a wait early. But a small one when we left.

Definitely worth doing if you are in the area, gorgeous view from the top, and the wind counters the heat pretty well.

You get e really nice view over the whole El Paso city and Cd. Juarez of Mexico. It was amazing!

This place is a must if you visit or live in el paso. It was an awesome experience. Highly highly recommended. You can see few diff states and Juarez, Mexico from up here. The mountains and the view is absolutely magnificent.

This is a very cool attraction, and an awesome activity to do whether youre visiting or if youve lived here for years. Theyre only open on the weekends, unfortunately. If youre feeling adventurous I highly recommend hiking the trail to the top, then riding the tram down.

A great experience while youre in El Paso! The views from the top are phenomenal and there are quite a few hiking trails to explore as well. Word from the wise: Be sure to bring water with you as it can get severely hot and dry, especially during the summers.

The view is just stunning I recommend anyone coming up here for relaxation and get away from the city

What a view! 5,632 ft!

My daughters loved this day. They talk about going to the top of the mountain very often. Great experience!!!!!

Sorry wait and beautiful views. Paved road all the way to the tram. Definitely a must see when in El Paso.

Loved the scene. The park ranchers were so sweet.

It is an incredible experience..if you are affraid of heights dont go...

For $8.00 well worth the fun and seeing 2 stares another country.only open on weekends and call ahead as high winds can shut it down by 130pmMust see.

It was great my son was scared at first but got over it at the top. The view was amazing totally worth it even though the gift shop wasnt open. Take a jacket its definitely fresher up there.. . The people that rated one star cant speak English or dont know how to rate things (are dumb af)

Ha ha ha..! Do you try to find a place to go in El Paso? Ok . You dont have many choices... This elevation is one of the best touristic places.You can see all around and recognise how close Mexica is...And if you had visited history museum first, you can put facts in appropriate places in your imagination.... the river... the border...the water system,... the army base..Worth it... but do not forget to go early. If you dont... dont forget your hat, sunscreen, water....

What a great view! Worth taking the time.

Wonderful scenery. Very hidden little jewel in El Paso.

We spent a lovely afternoon looking at El Paso Juarez and Sunland Park! The guides are friendly and knowledgeable!!!

Amazing view. but is it worth going later when its getting dark?? they should really make a restaurant up their would be more family friendly and would be fun to eat up their.

The Wyler Aerial Tramway is the only tramway in Texas and its REALLY special because from the top, you can see Cuidad Juarez, Mexico, El Paso, TX, and portions of New Mexico.The ride ticket is very reasonable and the way up is fairly short. If you feel like exploring the outdoors, theres also a walking trail you can take to the top, then ride the tram down. The cabins are sturdy and modern, not rickety at all. Once at the top, you can walk around the platform and really enjoy the view.I highly suggest that you double check the operating hours and also call before you go, so that you can ensure that the tram is open.

Excellent place to see El Paso TX and its surroundings from a mile high. The short trolley ride brings you up 900+ feet. Dont miss this opportunity if you are in El Paso.

You will get very good views of the city from this place. Highly recommend it.

Was a great experience, to bad they are closed for good now.

Even when the tram isnt running due to wind or weather, this is a great overlook for El Paso. Some of the trails to the peak start or go through here, so recommended for any type of outdoor adventure. The tram ride itself is kind of short (particularly compared to the one in Albuquerque), but since you have a ranger accompanying you is reasonably worth the price. If youre in El Paso, a recommended stop.

A great place to visit for out of town guests as well as locals!

This was cool. Great views and ride for like 7 dollars

The views are amazing it is well worth the trip. I would recommend it for couples, families, everybody.

The 4-minute tram ride takes you to the top of El Paso with incredible views that are even better than Scenic Drive. Its only open 3 days a week and gets crowded, so arrive early to avoid the wait and the heat.

Very interesting. You could see the Mexican Border from on top the platform. Disappointed that the Gift Shop was closed today

Great views of El Paso and Mexico. Rangers are great. Great price.

Long lines and not a lot of shade. No cir ulating air on the trams. Nice view when you get to the top.

Best place to get a panoramic view of El Paso and Juarez. Beautiful vistas and the opportunity for a vigorous hike down, if inclined.
