Field notes
50m from Kingston (KIN)
The drive is legendary: 365 hairpin turns (one for each day of the year).
Volatility Watch
Prices regularly jump between $465 and $655. Set an alert - the lower rate returns frequently.
Altitude Chill
At 3,100ft, nights are properly cold - bring a sweater. A mountain retreat, not a beach hotel.
