Gondola!!!
Jan R.

It was a beautiful day to take a ride to the top of loon mountain on the gondola with my friend. We went up and walked around and looked at the leaves just starting to turn. It was a lovely day and very busy up there. They did have a cafe or snack bar which looked kind of pricey and the food that I saw a being served was not impressive. But the view made everything worthwhile. The gondola ride was very fun and although I am afraid of heights I felt very safe in it. It was just all around a very nice experience.

This was even better than I was expecting. First time for me, got the Adventure Pass that was $40, and had a great day. I would not change a single thing about this place. We are two 40-somethings, no kids, and loved it. A lot of families were there with kids happy also. Okay, some details for what we got with the $40 pass: ** BICYCLES ** - a two-hour bike rental: We didn't actually use that because of a knee injury, but they were right there and if you don't have a knee injury you'll enjoy them. ** BUNGEE TRAMPOLINE ** - Didn't do this either, because of a knee injury. However, we watched others for a bit. Little kids loved and, and a few kids got their parents to try it out. It's made for all ages, but we mostly just saw kids doing it except the parents whose kids got them to try it out. ** ZIPLINE ** - one round-trip zipline: First for both of us, and pretty neat. It's idiot-proof, as in you get a harness that's triple-checked, so you can feel super-safe, and then when you're up there you just lean back, like you're going to sit in a low chair, and push off. There you go! It's 700 feet long they said, across the river to a similar platform. Then down the stairs and up the next ones, for the return trip. It's good. It feels expensive for one trip across though... We won't do it next time, but I think everyone should do it one time. ** GONDOLA ** - up and down the gondola all you want: It's neat. On one side the windows open. The windows that don't open are pretty scratched up and not a clear view. It's also warm in there, but still awesome. The transit is 13 minutes each way. There was zero wait time to get on. Attendants were polite. The summit is the best part of the day though. ** SUMMIT ** - the summit: This was just awesome. Like, Bob Ross and his happy little trees might have fit right in. It's beautiful all around. There are little "caves" around big, glacier-moved granite rocks. They're marked with difficulty levels and all that. We went through one and looked at the others. Even without going into the caves though - walk along the paths anyway. It's lovely. It will also take you a good hour to walk through, with lots of steps. Keep that in mind if stairs are a problem health-wise. If you're partway through, there is no secret "exit" because it's a forest. Only way out is to finish or turn around. more about the summit: There is a little playground for little kids. We also saw someone with a dog on a leash, so apparently a dog can ride up with you. There's a lookout tower that was 3-flights up (not 4). It's neat, and at the top of the tower there are signs where all of the other mountains are labeled, so you can match up and find which one's which ... There's also bathrooms up there, a little cafe with food, beer and wine, and there's a nice porch sticking out from the restaurant. There's also an area where they have church services on Sundays from what I hear. While we were there, a couple had their wedding that space. So, I was glad we saw it earlier, because it's a nice place to sit and look out... Great spot for a wedding, however. ** THE GROUNDS IN GENERAL ** Everything was really convenient. The bathrooms were clean, and nice. The parking lot is right there, and there are some chairs and benches around for sitting. ** A FEW TIPS ** 1) If you have binoculars, bring them. From the summit they have those big binocular stands that work when you put quarters in them, but you can do better with your own binoculars. 2) We did see a dog at the summit. I'd call to make sure it wasn't a special allowance, but it seems you can bring a dog up the gondola too. 3) Pack a picnic lunch. There is a cafe/restaurant at both the top and bottom of the mountain, but with the parking lot right there, it worked fine to bring your own. We did this, and saw others with the same. We took our cooler over to some chairs and had lunch midday. 4) If you do not want to ride across the river on the zipline, you can do everything else we did for one $16 ticket. That ticket says "gondola rides only" - but like I said, there is a lot to do on the summit. This ticket could keep you busy for a good afternoon in the mountains. Next time, we'll be doing just the gondola. I do recommend going on the zipline one time in your life, so consider it, but it is like $26 bucks, just one round-trip ride, and it's over in a few minutes. 5) If you found the "gold mine" on the caves walk at the summit, tell the gondola attendant and she'll give you some Loon Mountain "gold" to take with you. I hope this is helpful to others. Enjoy.

Cool little climbing gym as part of a great complex. We stopped in to try it out and had a great…read moretime. They have a nook that you can climb up to and sit in! I thought that was super cool, and my kids loved it. The gym has high walls as well as a small bouldering area. The mats were a bit harder than what I was used to but nothing to worry about. The service was fantastic, and we were shown how to fall and given all the rules before we started. I can appreciate a gym that is safety oriented. By the time we left it was getting very busy. But great little gym in this area! Loved it! I would love to drop back by if I am in the area! Thank you!

I stopped in to climb while in the area for a bit. I try to climb a couple days a week where I…read morelive, and I'd say I'm a high beginner/low intermediate climber. As mentioned both on the website and in another review, it is a little confusing to find the gym but just keep walking to the back of the Evergreen community center and you'll find it. Something I was excited about for this gym was that it has relatively tall walls compared to what I am used to climbing on, and I was really looking forward to practicing some longer routes BUT there were only 2 auto-belays, which was a bit of a disappointment for me. If you know how to belay and have a buddy, there are a bunch of really awesome looking routes but if you are a solo climber that doesn't want to pay a staff belay, you're kind of SOL. The bouldering area is pretty good but I found myself really limited in what was offered to a not-super-great climber like myself. I also didn't understand the bouldering route system - one of the staff explained it to me and I THOUGHT I understood it, but it turns out I really didn't! Overall, it seems like this gym is geared towards more skilled climbers with not as many options for people like me. I had a good enough time, but it didn't feel like there was a lot of me there. I can imagine that this is an awesome place to go for more skilled climbers!

$15.00 plus tax for a day pass. Let me repeat that: $15.00…read morefor a day pass. That is exactly $13.00 more than a day pass here is worth. It is cheaper to buy a month pass ($40), but the quality of the gym can hardly warrant more than one visit per month. I've paid $15+ out in San Francisco, but those are kick ass gyms with great facilities and paid, good route setters. This gym...well, it has potential, but it is a mess and has horrible route setting. While the lady owner is nice, the guy is a control freak and has no idea how to climb or set routes. He sets everything with holds super far apart and thinks that makes for interesting/hard climbing. The holds haven't been cleaned in probably 7 years. The floors are disgusting, the place stinks. And the bathrooms....oh my, the bathrooms. I actually dry heaved when I went into the Men's room last time I was there. There is some kind of septic back up that emanates the most foul smell out of the sink. And the water in the sink hardly even works. We all thought that the change in ownership might fix some of the infrastructure problems: but they did absolutely nothing! Avoid this place!

What a great place. Took the 6 year old granddaughter here as I had been teaching her to climb…read more Got mom and dad certified as belayers then took her on a couple of climbs. She made it all the way to the top of the beginners course, and grandpa did five easy climbs. Great afternoon, and Andrew was fantastic in his instructions to us, and cheering on the little one. Would definitely go back, an hope,Andrew is there for our visit. Thanks for a great afternoon!
