Check the live cams and weather reports on the visitor center website before you go. It's a MUST do! Incredible experience.
It's like being warped onto Mars. Better be prepared with warm clothes , it gets cold and windy up here. Also, it's normal to feel light headed, just be sure to drink plenty of water.
Make sure to adopt to the height and get some water and snacks . Drive here before the sunrise to watch it
Let's hope you have a 4x4. Bring a jacket and enjoy the breathtaking views . So worth two trips. One during the day and one at night.
Awesome place. Short hike from the observatories . Dress warm, it may be cold and windy. Walk slowly to adjust to high altitude.
Make sure your vehicle is clean to avoid cross contamination. You will be asked to clean it if it is viable to the rangers.
Perfect place to stargaze! Let's admit it is veeeeeeeery cold though ????
4x4s only. Steep, dirt road for 4.5 miles past the visitors info centre.
Go watch the spectacular sunset .
Incredible views - dress warm.

Sumo is exactly what it sounds like! Big enough for a hungry teen or two normal people (at least). Awesome Saimin and great chili too. - Kirsten Udani
