Product Description

Editorial Review

The starting point for this Fisher-Price train-track set for toddlers is a mountaintop chalet surrounded by lush, green pine trees. Tugging a crate of goods, the blue loader-engine train departs the chalet, winds down the track, kept securely on by a yellow guard rail, and whizzes through an underground tunnel. It's a relatively one-dimensional toy, though the layout can be rearranged to connect to other GeoTrax sets. --Andy Boynton

This is a really cool addition to the already fun Geotrax, but not neccesarily good for 2 1/2 year olds. The whole elevation series is hard to build so the 2 1/2 year olds get bored quickly, the proper age is probably 3 1/2.

But the mountain is really fun. Two thumbs up.

Mile High Mountain adds a new level of play to the Geotrax system. Now vehicles can climb high into the sky to the Chalet at the top of the mountain. The chalet can be used for storing cargo which can then be sent via chute to a collection point at the bottom.

The sloping track also crosses over a poseable tunnel. This can be used separately from the mountain. Tracks can continue higher or run back down the other side. The set also includes a diesel vehicle and a cargo crate.

The set is full of the detail that makes this such a fun system. On the mountain you can find a bird in a nest, a rabbit, stalactites, several types of trees and even pinecones. A wonderful addition to any Geotrax setup. The only downside is that in order for the mountain to fit in a smaller box, there are some screws that need to be driven during assembly as opposed to the usual snap-together operation.

This review is from: GeoTrax Rail & Road System - Mile High Mountain (Toy)

My 3-year old son loves trains in general, and is obsessed with having his trains (or cars or trucks or anything with wheels) go through tunnels. So this was a great treat for him. We've got a couple of pieces of the Geo Trax world already, so this was just another add-in. It takes a little more effort to put together than the other sets we've bought so far, but no problems with it. We have a standard size train table, and adding a piece like this, or the elevated tracks (which we also have) is starting to push the limits of the train table. I guess that's an overall "warning" about the Geo Trax sets...if your kid likes them, the more you buy, the more space you need if you want to set up the whole thing. Our space is limited, so our son can only set up certain pieces at a time. And he is pretty astute to set stuff up himself. We may get him started by doing the initial setup, but he'll eventually take it apart and do a different track layout.
