Parked Cable Car

The Wyler Aerial Tramway at Franklin Mountains State Park features an aerial cable car situated on 195.742 acres of rugged mountain and rock formations on the east side of the Franklin Mountains. Visitors were able to purchase tickets at the tramway station on the east side to ride a gondola that will transport them to the top of Ranger Peak. The Tramway is now closed to the public.

My husband proposed to me on Ranger Peak after we’d ridden the tram to the top in 1967.
