The gondola runs all night but you can’t ride on them from about after 6 PM
Not sure, 5pm sounds about right. Their site doesn't say, however when you book a ride it says a ticket is good from 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM. Something to also consider when planning your trip.
I believe it closes around 5, but they often have after hours events at the top of the mountain. Concerts, dinner events, parties.... it's absolutely gorgeous mountain scenery up there. They even have disc golf during the summer season, if you don't want to walk/ride on the trails
