The road to the summit, located within the Tahoe National Forest, is gravel and rocky. It’s called Foresthill Road (Tahoe National Forest Road #88). It’s impassable in winters. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. The road to the lookout isn't great, so take a 4WD and a spare tire, just in case. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep.
