The most amazing 360 degree view! It does get very hot though. Hike in is not awful but pack light! Bed is between a Queen and a full and is decently comfy.

This lookout is amazing!! An engineering marvel. It's in great condition and very comfortable. Spectacular views.
The only two downsides were the gate lock (a challenge!) and the logging operation just northeast of the lookout which went on all night (bring earplugs).

Everything worked. Climbers were respectful. Toilet is fantastic.

One night is NOT enough! Definitely recommend more than one day, and with a full complement of kitchen supplies, bring your own food and water and you'll be in heaven.
