Very popular year round; check weather and road conditions before visiting other than summer. National Park entry fee $30 (or buy an annual NP Pass). But if "the mountain is out" it is a very, very special site!

Tolls and HOV roads
You will see Toll booths and HOV lanes here. Pay attention to them; they will bill you.
A Goodtogo pass may be worth investing in if you are here for more than a few days; it auto bills for both Toll and HOV roads.
