Our cover photo was taken on our most recent trip up the Bell in August 2021. It is a long and winding road .. but worth the drive. Take your time. You can park at the first lot you see, or keep driving up the steep hill to the top. Go on a weekday if possible to avoid crowds. Favorite place for sunsets and even weddings.
