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.”
