Something not right?

Description

Follow the winding dirt road up
To the peak of the mountain overlooking the town of Austin.
This is BLM land and a hidden gem. Full 5G bars with T-Mobile.
Be warned, getting up the mountain is bout an easy task!
Extremely steep inclines and I don’t see any type of Class A or a rig towing another vehicle making it to the spot. You’ll need some horsepower for sure!
(4x4 is not necessary)
100% wild camping, pack it in-pack it out (gas station down the mountain has garbage bins).
Best view in the county if you’re able to make it up!!

Fantastic 360 degree views of the surrounding landscape from here. Very dark and quiet at night.

I drove up the dirt roads to the east, as the previous review says it's VERY steep, and the farther up you go the steeper it gets. My Honda Civic was able to make it up, but on the straightaway leading to the spot I really had to punch it, and just barely made it to the top. Something with 4WD would've made it easier but not necessary if you've got more power then a Civic. Ground clearance wasn't an issue.
