Transportation & Safety
Rideshares can be very difficult to secure on the mountain—pickups often take 45 minutes or get canceled. You may have better luck getting a rideshare to the venue from the hotel, and some guests have had success with prebooking rides in advance. However, return rides after the event are not reliable.
If you plan to drive, you are welcome to leave your car overnight at The Mountain Terrace and pick it up the next day—whatever helps you get home safely.
The drive is beautiful but has many curves. Please do not drink and drive. Your safety is our top priority, and we strongly recommend arranging a designated driver or rideshare to the venue and having a backup plan for getting home.
