The process to book this is difficult, and with reason, make sure you email the paperwork ahead of time; although it says that you can bring it, ignore that information. The hours of the ranger are limited so make sure you get the 'code' before you head to the ranger station.

For Saturday, book Thursday - Sunday and then modify your booking for $10. Totally worth it.

Check the weather, it's a very steep hike so bring plenty of water!

The cabin itself has some water, but I think that was just our luck, some games, due to the heat the mosquitoes were biting! We couldn't enjoy the stay or the breeze. Overall it was fun. I think a lot of the items are 'by contribution', so try to leave something useful to the next people, we left 3 AAA batteries.
