Even though there is construction on the summit, we were able to park and take a bus up to the top. The vistas are stunning, all the way up. The summit was awesome ( and very, very cold ) I was glad that I read some reviews before we went , as we needed scarves and gloves in September ! This is well worth seeing, and we dedicated an entire day to this tour. It is well worth the time and the money to see beauty of nature.
