I've been misled a number of times by Google Maps driving directions to places that can only be ultimately reached on foot, because in general it tends to route to the nearest drivable location by straight line distance and not necessarily the starting point of a usable/preferred walking route. Which seems to be what happened here. I don't usually attempt walking regardless, though!

Almost worse is that there is a walking path from the car directions end point to the top but it’s a difficult trail suggested only for “experienced hikers.”

Yeah, I find that Google Maps is pretty bad at knowing where you should be parking to access something by foot.
