Why Go

For part of the year, it's one of the first places in the country to see the sun. A vehicle reservation is required for the summit road in season, on Recreation.gov. You can hike up instead, by the South Ridge or North Ridge trails.

Tips

  • Bring a jacket. Sunrise tickets sell out; some go on sale two days before.
