A nature wonderland. The structure warms up during late summer nights. Agile feet necessary. Vault toilet same. Stargazing with minimal light pollution. Wildlife... you are their guest. Note, long way to the hospital.

Excellent sunset views and cute little cabin! Drive definitely needs higher clearance vehicle once you’re on the forest roads. CRV handled it well.

Warning for anyone currently going - baby rattlesnakes!!!! The area around the lookout has a rocky area with steps and I got my Indiana Jones moment with snakes! If you are bringing dogs or children please be cautious. Be very cautious and watch where you step! Wear boots and know that the snakes really loved warming themselves on the rocks going up to the structure. Honestly, the views, fun off road driving and amazing historic structure were a 5 star. The pit toilet was super clean. The inside of the cabin was what you’d expect and rustic. I’m may try this spot again outside rattlesnake season. My husband and I camp with a kid and 2 dogs. That was too many feet/paws on the ground for an area with very active baby rattlesnakes. Knowing it takes about an hour to get out if there was an emergency, we left.
