We often get asked, “Will my minivan or sedan be able to make it up the mountain?”—and the answer is yes! We have a hybrid sedan and have never had any trouble. The road leading up is partially paved, with the final stretch being gravel, but it is well-maintained and manageable. The driveway is long and narrow but can accommodate up to three cars.
