Worth visiting!
A tip I have about this place
It’s a wonderful observatory. It’s like the type of thing you’d see in an old movie, where the astronomer sits in a cage to move around this enormous (I mean, huge!) telescope.
The only catch – it’s not like anyone in the public can just drop in to have a look at some stars. Plan ahead!
Also, the gate closes up promptly, so don’t get your car caught inside when you’re having a hike on the wonderful nearby trails. (This hasn’t happened to me, but might have!)
