This "mountaintop" rarely seems free from our old Cornish friend, mizzle! Some days it feels like a quest to navigate through to the metropolis of St Austell.
Please be careful where you park, if you park in the gateway that most people tend to use you will have to cross a busy road, I wouldn't drag your kids or wheelchair users there.
The Misty Mountains were created by the Vala Melkor during the Years of the Trees as a hindrance for Oromë, who would hunt his fell creatures. They would later serve as a deterrent for the Elves during the Great Journey, causing some to turn south. The Elves that would not cross the Misty Mountains would become the Nandor.
In the third age Thorin and Company used the High Pass to cross the Misty Mountains, and were captured by the Orcs of Goblin-town.
Later the Fellowship of the Ring tried to cross Redhorn Pass, after choosing not to use the High Pass or the Gap of Rohan because of the threat of Orcs patrols or Saruman's forces. A powerful blizzard blocked the Redhorn Pass, forcing the Fellowship to journey through Moria. There they faced the Balrog that ruled the mines. Gandalf slew the Balrog by throwing it from the Silvertine, but sacrificed his own life in doing so.
