Scenic Lift Rides – August
Thursday, August 1 – Saturday, August 31, 2025
There’s nothing like a summer lift ride to slow things down and take it all in. Feel the breeze drift through the trees, the sun on your face, and the lift’s gentle hum as you glide above it all. Birds echo across the ridgelines, and every turn of the chair brings a new view—distant peaks, sparkling lakes, and miles of wild, open Maine. Whether you’re looking to share a quiet summit moment with friends or just want the feeling of hiking without the climb, this is your shortcut to the top.
Scenic lift rides continue every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday through August. The Rangeley Chair runs from 12–6 PM on Thursdays and 9–4 PM on weekends. Come catch a ride and soak in the best of summer in the High Peaks.
Individuals must be able to load and unload the chair without assistance. Saddleback reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who does not follow, or who deviates from the regulations associated with lift usage. Please be advised of all regulations before purchasing a ticket.
