Located within the Carson National Forest, the road to the summit is rocky and gravel. It’s a chairlift access trail. This trail can be done only a very narrow time-frame in the summer (end of August). The wind is usually quite strong at mountain areas. High winds blow here all year long. The road to the summit is a ski-station service road pretty steep, with some sections up to 30%.
