The mountain itself has grassy slopes and if you wanted to hike instead, you could hike up the road or probably bushwhack up the slope without much trouble. I chose to drive up, since I was doing an evening activation, but once up top I made a short hike around the broad top to look for a good setup location and to make sure I got as close as possible to the high point.
The top is full of commercial towers, so expect RF interference. There is a restroom at the top.
Here's a 360 view video that I took while I was up there (split into two files due to size limits):
I made plenty of good contacts, including some nice long-distance QSO's on 60m and 40m as the evening set in. After only an hour I was in total darkness and packed up to carefully navigate my way down.
