The ski lift will take you up to 11,500 feet in elevation from which you will see the red rocks in Sedona, the cinder cone volcanic field, and the walls of the Grand Canyon. The chair lift ride is about 25 minutes each way. Once you are at the top you can take hike around on the special trails and enjoy the views. There is a Forest Ranger on hand to give guided tours and educate you on the volcanic history of the mountain range. You will also be able to visit the highest public bathroom in Arizona at the Ranger Station at the top of Aggasiz Peak (as per the sign outside the building) and be able to take pictures of Flagstaff and Northern Arizona University in the distance to the South or of the Grand Canyon park towards the North. We took many photos and had a relaxing ride in both directions and people on the ski lift greeted each other on the way up and down. It was interesting to see tiny kids clinging to their parents on the ride up and other people napping in the chair on the way down. Once down again there is a nice restaurant and gift shop. The kids really enjoyed our day trip. If you go, go early because the lines get long.
