It was kind of a rough experience- the surrounding forest is quite burnt out with very little shade. It was 97 degrees when I arrived at 6PM and for forecasted to be hotter the next few days of my reservation. There was also a large group of men camped within a quarter mile of the lookout which made this single, female camper very uncomfortable, especially after they drove by the lookout slowly checking it out a couple times after I first arrived. I decided the heat, lack of shade and neighbors made the stay not worth it and left after about an hour. If I were with a group, and it was cooler I think it would have been a great experience. WARNING! Don't use the driving directions sent to you in the email! Those directions took me almost 2 hours on a narrow, unmaintained, extremely, rough road that went waaay out of the way to approach the lookout. When I left I decided to take the way google suggested which was a lovely 30 min drive on a wide, well-maintained road.
