Take an hour to drive this. Just slow down and take your time in the rough dirt roads. We did this trip in a Toyota Corolla and had no issues. Best picture taking on the island.

The road at the top is steep and has loose gravel. I know of two people on mopeds who took a spill up there. If your' slow and careful- no problem. The views can't be beat- it's the highest point on the island. There are informative signs that tell of different aspects of the Battle of Saipan.

Obviously the best day (and those are most) is when there isn't a fog over the mountain. That said, the view from the top is dazzling. A full 360 degree panarorama of... More
