The experience was magnificent. The facility was well kept, clean and comfortable. The views are, as you would expect, tremendous. A few caveats, just to make you own excursion more enjoyable. The tower is not dog friendly. The stairs are precipitously steep which means you'd likely have to carry them. You need your hands on these stairs, trust me. Also, bring lots of your own water as there is no source, not even non-potable. Prepare for dynamic weather, freezing cold, tank-top hot, rain, snow, you get the drift. Bring good binoculars, trash bags and firewood. There is little to no scavengeable material for burning. The road leading up to the tower was not ford focus friendly if you get my meaning. Lastly, take some time and read the journals in the cabinet, they are heartwarming.
