Did you go during the day then? If yes, it makes a huge difference going at night vs. day. We went during the day first and heard about how amazing it was at night, so we made the ~ 2.5 hr roundtrip drive again from our rental... Definitely worth seeing at night!

I feel like the drive sounds longer than it feels lol its a cool drive up there. Especially if you go saddle road. The landscape is so neat!

Oh it was the opposite weather for me lol. Day time steam vent viewing was so windy, it was literally pushing me around. Felt like pele was trying to push me off a cliff! Lol
