The road to the summit, located within the Coronado National Forest, is gravel and rocky. It’s called E Bigelow Road. It’s impassable in winters. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. At the summit there’s a lookout tower built in 1958, numerous communications equipment and an astronomical observing facility.
