Easy ride up to the top. A bit bumpy but nothing hard. As I was going up, a Honda CRV was coming down, so it can easily be accessed by a sedan. Not much of a view at the top due to trees blocking the view. If you go over to whwre the power lines are going down the mountain, you get a bit of a view but it is obstructed by the poles and lines.
