From the top of the ski lift at Sunrise is a stunning panoramic view of hills and valleys, trees and lakes, clouds and rain showers miles away. The ski resort has a host of summer activities, one of them being a chair lift pass for the day. Some people ride up, get off, look around, take a few photos and head back down. Others ride up, and after the photo ops choose a run or a trail to hike back to the bottom. The truly adventurous, bring or rent a mountain bike and put it on the bike rack on the back of the chairlift. Some friends and I watched several groups of adventurers disembark. All had helmets, most with chin guards, most had shin or knee pads, and elbow pads, and my personal favorite had a football jersey on over full pads. There are 10 or more trails to choose from that range from easy to black diamond. On our way down the mountain on the chair lift, we watched a couple bikers traverse the black diamond run beneath us. It was impressive to say the least. That is not on my bucket list! However....a zip line is coming this fall and I plan to be back to cross that off my list!
