By the time we parked and walked over half a mile ...

By the time we parked and walked over half a mile to the arch, we were almost late for our ride. If there is a map somewhere that shows the best place to park to go into the right entrance for the tram ride we could not find it. We followed GPS to a parking spot and then walked forever to one of the legs of the arch just to discover that we could not go in at that entrance.

Once we got inside it was even worse. We had one of the last appointments of the day so I am hoping that contributed to the lack of guidance. There were no other people anywhere - which wasn't bad - but we had no idea where to go. Once we made it through to the correct area we had to go through airport security: belts off, pockets empty, xray bags, metal detector. Then we re-dressed and once again we were in no-mans land - literally no one around to tell us where to go. If not for the one man standing at the end of the ramp waving us down we would not have found the ride in time. So, we make it to the ride. We get our own little pod and do not have to share it with anyone else - covid issues - so that part is excellent!

We get to the top and again, they only allow so many at a time and we had less than 10 at the top with us. That was also excellent! However, they assign each group a window on each side. We were assigned number 1 - it is a window and a half on each side instead of 2 windows and it is completely on the down slope. We did not get to stand at the top, we had to stand on the side. Still a great view!! But the windows are so small that it is almost impossible to look straight down. The windows that you see in the background of one of my photos are the viewing windows. I cropped out someone's head but I was trying to show the windows. See pictures.

So to recap: arrive at least an hour early to allow for parking, walking, security and locating correct entrance.

Employees were very helpful and very friendly - even to a very frazzled patron who was frustrated by the time she got to them. Kudos to them.
