Great place for summer hiking in Tahoe. If you're looking to take a tram for "high-up" views during the summer, choose Squaw Valley over Heavenly. You can get quality lake views at free lookouts around the lake. You can't get mountain/meadow views like you get at the top of the tram at Squaw.

Last tram returns to the base village at 5:30pm so plan ahead. There's a ton of family friendly hiking at the top, and a small restaurant at the top too (although restaurants at the base village are probably better). Be sure to check out the Olympic museum!
