It was very windy and rainy during my visit, but with a rain jacket, borrowed umbrella (thanks Anne-Sophie), and appropriate shoes, it was still an incredible experience. I recommend walking back to the visitor center instead of taking the shuttle. Even in the rain, the extra views and fresh air was worth it.”

I’m so glad we got to experience it though. My favorite part was walking up…”
