This tramway has two gondolas, and alternates back and forth. While one is at the top the other is at the bottom. I can spot one gondola near a tower, on the Satellite view, so the other will be the same distance from the top. The Coordinates were taken at the top station.
you pass over deep canyons, and stunning views, and a sad view, along the way you pass over, plane wreckage, with parts of the plane still viewable.
