We didn't make it to the top (you need 4WD), just the visitors center, but the stargazing was great from the visitors center, totally worth it. Get there a little early before parking really fills up… MattIowa的完整评论

No, only able to access the visitor centre with 2WD. The CCTV in the visitor centre shows you the conditions at the summit. Unfortunately it was cloudy (foggy) at the summit and there would have been little point to go farther. Great trip anyway! Next visit in 2018 I'll have 4WD.
