Overall, trail was wonderful. Came up here for sunrise, it was beautiful but the Rangers in the lookout did not offer coffee. It was very cold. Bear grass was all dead.
On the drive up, we encountered washboard roads and average-sized boulders. Tight corners-beware! No service on the way up, and be careful if you drive stick not to shift past 2nd!
Bathrooms were clean, hand sanitizer was provided. No light, so if you are up here early or late bring your own! If you are sensitive to smells, bring essential oils.
Lookout was occupied by rangers, and there were three cars camped up by the bathrooms overnight. Snow started falling at 7:12 AM. It was a beautiful sight, but the mountain remained hidden by the clouds until after we left. Beautiful hike!

The lookout is only open 8am to 6pm when staffed. The rangers are not there to be your baristas.
