Visisted July 28, 2009, and enjoyed the drive up to the top. However, beware that the drive is winding and there is not really a shoulder or guardrails along the route. The upper part of the drive was under construction so we drove in durt/mud and when almost at the top, we had to wait for the construction equipment to... more
To charge each passenger in our case (two) a toll to drive 19 miles to a deserted peak (the concession stand with the advertised donuts was closed during normal operating hours) and 19 miles back down again was a complete waste of time, gas, and money ! more
Cool place ... get even better in fall and winter. Sometime access to top is limited in winter otherwise it is very beautiful. more

I think the weather got really bad after we left, but after we got to the bottom about 30 minutes later, we could see the... more
The drive was a little scary, but it was a bit of an adventure. And the views are amazing! A "must" if you are in the area. more
This was a lot of fun! Regardless of the weather 'down below', dress warm! It was 75 degrees and sunny when we started our trip...but at the 3 mile mark (19 miles to the top) we stopped at a gift shop and bought a jacket because it was 30 degrees with an 18 wind chill at top!! But the drive... more
