You'll need an all wheel drive or 4X4 to get up to the trail head and camp ground, but once up there it's great. Hike is fairly strenuous but worth the effort. Look down into Badwater then spin...

Views and environment are gorgeous. This was a winter hiking experience. Lots of ice in the beginning, then periodic hard snow/ice, and then snow covers the final ascent. Snow could be 8-20 inches deep. Very steep. Even though it was cloudy, the sun got us. Bring shade or sunscreen. From the kilns, it took us 10.5 hours for 17 miles. Probably could have gone faster. For winter, you could get away with no microspikes as long as you use proper footwork for snow, ice, and scree/talus, but nobody should recommend this.
