Last time we were here, we hiked up Marion. We were able to nab a tram ticket this time! It sells out fast. Buy it a week or two in advance. Also, make sure to buy a parking pass. You can also pay $10 on site for parking.

They're limiting people at the tram. Don't show up more than an hour in advance. Tram capacity is also limited. Show up 10-15mins early. They are doing a health inspection prior to entering the building. They also inspect you pack. Restaurant above is closed but you can still buy packed food and beverage.

Tram hours is 8am – 6pm. I don't recommend walking in. Get your reservation. Also make sure you're back atleast 30mins before the last tram or you'll be camping up there, or you can hike down C2C ????

There's snow from the ranger station all the way up. Microspikes and poles for sure. I didn't bring spikes so I had to use my crampons at some point. Postholing opportunities ???? 0.5mi before Wellman Divide. I recommend taking a different route. Half a mile past the water source, the trail will split. Take the right path (shortcut). If you like pain and suffering, go left to Wellman Divide.
