Getting Around:
You will need a vehicle to get to the lodge. From Nov-March you will need snow chains or 4 wheel drive with snow tires. If you attempt to drive up the mountain without either of these and have to call for help you will be fined by the local authorities for not having proper chains or tires on your vehicle. Driving on the mountain can be very dangerous without chains or 4 wheel drive/snow tire combo. There is transportation available from Government Camp up to Timberline and Meadow but you will have to investigate dates/times/pick up locations as they change frequently. I suggest doing an internet search if interested in advance of arrival as they book up fast.
