> The drive up the mountain is about 8 miles of winding road. I went during early December and only saw one other car. [With Jethro at the wheel and Larry running along side buck  nekkid...]

>I could imagine it would take a pretty long time up and down the mountain during peak travel time. There is only a handful of places for two cars to fit next to each other on the road when passing. The hike itself was very nice! A nice incline up with numerous little trails off the main path to get pictures. I would recommend a walking stick for going up and down. The scenery is absolutely beautiful once you get to the top. There are numerous places to get pictures or to sit and enjoy the view....
