Most people head out there late in the afternoon to watch the sunset. The top is not always open due to severe weather. The last part of the road is really steep, unpaved, winding, sometimes even snow and ice conditions and not for the faint of hearth. .If you want to take it easy and avoid the long drive or just don’t want to hear your loved ones gasp for air at every turn you make go on a guided tour. If driving, you will need a 6 cylinder 4 wheel drive rental car. Most rental companies do not offer insurance if you go there, meaning if you get into trouble you are on your own.

Consider doing one of the hikes on the crater then follow the road all the way to the ocean. The downhill slope to the ocean creates funny weather up there and you can get rained on once in a while. Taking a helicopter tour is one of the best, but not the cheapest way to see the park in all its glory.
