Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching 5320 National Pike, signal early to alert trailing traffic on Route 40, especially during peak commuter hours or inclement winter weather conditions common in the Laurel Highlands. Winter visitors should note that mountain elevation can bring rapid snow and ice accumulation, so drive with caution when entering the lot.
