Far in the East County at the end of a windy Mountain Road sits an engineering Marvel that is still used today. In late summer, clear roads on S6 gave us beautiful panoramas of the Cleveland National Forest . The road up the mountain is very windy with an eclectic array of sojourners. They varied from Iron Man road bikers trudgeing up the the slope, speedy roadsters, biker hogs blast by, and maintenance trucks carrying payloads of gear. After reaching the top the grounds are free to park at. Theres a picnic area adjacent the visitor parking lot. For engineering types the structure and the telescope are marvels. We were extremely lucky to come at 1:15 pm (also 9:45am)when mobility impaired visitors are allowed use of the back elevator to the viewing room. Our guide this day was Jeff. Our docent was patient, courteous, very well informed. A perfect guide to this testament of Mans inventions.We will always remember the cool interior, the horseshoe bearing, separate foundations and the gorgeous panoramas looking outside. Could not have asked for a better day in the final precious moments of my Fathers Golden years . God Bless and Thank you Jeff.

Feedback:
great docents and tours, ask for assistance, Love the views
Feedback:
Great experience, they have docents that can explain all of the history and mechanics behind the observatory and telescope. I think they come out twice a day. Also if you just want to go and sing your little heart out the acoustics are great at the bottom level. My wife and sisters go there and it sounds amazing.
