Upper observation platform
This measures the approach from the observation-site lot, not the stair trail to the base.
The upper platform is wheelchair accessible. The separate base trail has steep stairs.
Where to start
Follow signed FR 5893 off Highway 58 to the observation lot. Sno-Park overflow requires a longer walk; do not park on roadsides.
Timing & water
The observation lot normally closes in winter. The Forest Service describes a 0.4-mile road walk from the Sno-Park; snow and ice can affect access.
Before you go
$5 per vehicle or accepted recreation pass at the observation site. Check separate Sno-Park requirements if using that lot.
