Steep barely describes it but yes. There is room at the top but not a whole lot so if other rigs and trailers are already up there it could get tight

And keep in mind, you will use 4wd to get up the road towing. Ask Randy, he knows 1st hand. Last year they let us leave trucks and trailers at the gas station.

With a single-vehicle trailer it's certainly feasible to unload at the gas station and drive the trailer empty up the road.  Even my 2wd truck could get to the level with the first cabin, where there's extra parking.  It's not so much that it's steep as that it's covered with loose gravel.

There is also a little church on the left just before the driveway that you could pull into and unload, then pull the trailer up empty.  Doing this or at the gas station will probably make it easiest for those trailering.

Those that pulled their trailer up last month hit it pretty hard up the paved part of the driveway and carried a lot of momentum to get up the the gravel/steep part.  If you've not been on the it before, you probably won't hit it hard enough and if you don't have 4wd...it's not a place to be stuck with a loaded trailer.

Ok, so 4wd LOW in the taHOE should drive right up.

Doug, ask Randy. This is where he almost fell off the mountain... while in his jeep! Speed is your friend here!

The HOE will crawl it.  //OLDSKOOL//

I really want to make this, but it'll be a last minute decision. Hopefully it can still work if it's possible.

4wd HIGH and you will go up. The 1st hill is paved 90% of the way up. The 2nd hill is more about carrying your momentum than anything else. If you drive to the VERY top and swing to the left there plenty of room for you to do a U-turn with the trailer.

Heck you can drive up the 1st hill to big rock and unload on the flat area and then drive the truck and trailer up the 2nd hill like it is nothing.

My buddy Eric drove to the top in 2wd and my buddy Bo drove to the top in 2wd, but I used 4wd high.

Looks like it's sleeping arangements are good to go. Glad we picked up some extra cabins for sure. No worring about 1 particualr can getting nuked....  </LMAO/>
