Re: ??????

I think this was installed as recently as 2005 so it's not historic. They actually want to build a tram up Mount Ogden in the future. The Sierra Club is fighting against this. I hope that they win. The whole idea makes me sad.

Re: ??????

It was designed by Jeff Lowe and was built on Chris Petersen's land. He owns the property near Waterfall Canyon and approved of the Via Ferrata.

Re: ??????

Never mind then. If it was on private land, it would be fine.

Update on tram

Just read in the Ogden Standard that a survey was done, asking Ogden residents how much they would contribute toward the tram. Results were a whopping $7.00 per resident! There are about 60,000 residents, and the tram cost was 20 million. Thats a little short! Ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Cool!
