Feb 21, 2020Worth the trip. I imagine it would be less enjoyable if more crowded. Go EARLY in the day, but stop at the viewpoints on the way, because once you get the views from here the others careless impressive.

Feb 21, 2020There were plenty of people here late February mid-week. I imagine it would be less enjoyable in high season due to being more crowded, so go early. Stop at the viewpoints on the way out, because once you see the views from here, the others seem less impressive!
