Easy walk to the overlook. Two thumbs up

Sadly cannot give it 5 stars. The disability access is overgrown (late Aug 2022) and from what I’ve read although it’s more level it isn’t wide enough and is a bit too steep at the end for those who are using motorized scooters and such. Our family is all able bodied to hike either path up and we did very much enjoy the views and out time. I just caution those who may struggle due to accessibility. The bathrooms were full of sewer/drain flies. Not the first park bathroom we’ve seen like this (near stumphouse tunnel there is one with same issue) but as a mom of 3 girls these bathrooms are unusable to us. Despite the clouds on the horizon the sunset was beautiful! So the views and location are 5/5 but accessibility and bathrooms are 3/5. Be sure to check out the observation deck using the short path to the west end of the parking lot.

Absolutely breathtaking views. Highly recommend visiting during sunrise/sunset.
