The Location

Expect some steep and curvy roads, both paved and gravel, but they are manageable. We recommend that you arrive the first time during daylight hours as it can be very dark and there are no street lights on the mountain. 

AWD or 4WD vehicles are highly recommended in the winter months. Motorcycles are NOT recommended due to the gravel roads.
