Yea not sure how you would get there with out tenting a car. Dont think any bus lines run up there. If you rent a 4x4 you will not need chains. Or even a all wheel drive you would be fine. If its been snowing it usually takes a day for them to clear and salt. So if you did get a 2 wheel drive and it had been snowing yes you will need chains. They have people that you can pay to put them on for you as you get to the elevation where you will need. Its cheaper and better if you bring your own. Hope that helps. Give yourself extra time cause if its snowing or has been traffic can be a bear. Lol. Good luck.
Hire a car and unless there has been snow within 24 hours you will not need chains.
It is a good idea to have chains but it isnt absolutely necessary. Usually the roads are salted unless you are in the middle of a storm
