These family oriented tours are every Saturday June 20 – September 26 at 10:30am. They are $15 per person and include a snack. A lift ticket can be added to the tour for just $5. Saturday tours are geared towards families, children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Every Sunday, Kid’s Adventure Tours from 2:30 – 5:30pm are exclusively for kids age 7 – 12. The adventures vary each week, allowing your children to have some fun and learn new skills including how to identify animal signs, geology on the mountain, crafts made from plants, finding your way in the wild using navigation skills, and mountain recreation safety and etiquette. These adventures are a great way to let your kids have some fun while you enjoy Blues, Brews & BBQ! The Sunday kid adventure tours are $25 and include the tour, lift and a snack.
