The Visitor Center burned down in the winter of 2022-2023. The road is still open, but the only restroom facilities are a row of port-a-potties. Immaculately clean, but still ... . In addition to metering the vehicles heading up from the park entrance station, due to parking lot capacity, there is a daily limit of 350 or so vehicles, due to port-a-potty capacity. On a summer weekday, we were in a long line around 10 a.m., and soon thereafter they closed the line for the day.
Amazing views. Amazing wildflowers on the way up. Not a good road for trailers or big rigs.
