When to board the gondola for Yonder?

What’s the latest time I should get in line for the gondola today? Don’t mind waiting in line, but want to get up there about 30 min before show time. Thanks!

The really looong line is earlier, for FirstGrass @ 6ish… Shouldn’t be so bad after the FG crowd gets up the mountain.

One can always hike west on the river trail and then up boomerang (even with the Shell) … Takes about an hour and is moderate in difficulty.
