What the mountain road looks like when it's closed to ALL vehicle traffic.

The majority of the roads running through the Battlefield are county roads and do not close. 

In designated areas, closing times are are posted for your convenience. Closing times change at the beginning and end of daylight savings time. Gated lots have posted times of closure for you to refer to and non gated areas are posted "closed from dusk to dawn".

The mountain road is open Monday through Friday excluding major holidays and weather permitting. It is closed on weekends and holidays but a shuttle bus is available for a mininal fee to take a ride to the top of the mountain.

The walk from the parking area to the Illinois Monument is approximately 200 yards.
