Have a time slot starting at noon.
Time slot?
They restrict the number of vehicles on the summit during a two hour time frame. Our time frame was noon to 2pm. As it turned out it was a slow day with not many taking the road up.
Not clear here. Are they only allowing trips to the summit between noon and 2 or is that just the "rush hour" when they restrict access? We last did the drive in 2015 and I don't recall any time restrictions. Do they still have a cop stationed to check your brake temperature on the way down?
They limit the number of cars during a given two hour time frame. The parking lot at the summit can only handle so many cars at a given time. This is something the do during high demand times (May-Sept). The time slots are 0800-1000, 1000-1200, 1200-1400, 1400-1600. You can pick your time slot on their web site or at the gate.
