ascent (if you must) recommended with a group of 3+. dirty little secret...try not to be the last of the group. descent is bomb from the sugarloaf cafe and even higher up from the 371/74 intersection.
there are a couple of tight corners on the descent below the vista point/palm desert overlook so be careful.
if you're lucky...you can wait, then pull out and descend ahead of an rv and have the descent all to yourself since the rv won't pass you unless you're going molasses slow downhill.
can always do a car shuttle for the descent...
