I want to do this, and will be checking their website to see when I can get a chance. I've been up there once, with my in-laws. We took the tour van as our minivan wasn't rated to handle the 7 of us. What an interesting ride! I sat in the back seat of the van over the wheel on the passenger side, and most of the way I could look down and not see the road, 'cause we were so near the edge. The guide told us that nearly everyday they have to drive someone's car down for them because they succumb to fear (or reason). Thanks for the pics!
