Drove to the gate at 12,000. The gate was open but I don't think that is normal. Cars parked above the gate and below. You do not need 4 wheel drive. If there is such a thing as an "easy" 14er this is it. I think this is a steep incline but short for a 14er. There were a lot of people. Families with little kids. The wind was incredible. Several times I almost lost my footing due to the wind. This is NOT a pretty 14er. Rocks, rocks and more rocks Once you get to the top the views are amazing. Felt like the mall at Christmas with alllllllll the people.
