Hi John,
The road seems in pretty shape, it is narrow enough that the visitor
center checks with the summit via radio to see if there is descending
traffic before they send large vans up the mountain, but I don't think it
much of a problem, as there are plenty of places where the road is wide
enough for cars to pass by each other.. There is a gate about 1 mile from
the summit. You might want to check with the visitor center to see what
their policy is beyond the gate. It is a pretty ride.
