  This lookout was absolutely PERFECT for the sunset! A National Park worker named Cathy — an absolute gem — let us know that the view of the sunset was similar at each check point past the park entrance and that we didn’t need to go all the way to the summit unless we wanted to. And she was more than right! It was less busy by a mile. When you stop here, make sure to follow the trail around the mountain to view the crater. I’ve never seen anything like it 🤯

  Worth the brief stop to the summit. Short five minute walk and brings to you see a great view of the crater. Doesn’t seem like it when parking but the path wraps around. Plus there is a protected area if heavy wind.

  For uphill visitors, the parking lot is on the right. Then cross the road, and take a short walk with clearly marked trail to get to the overlook. The trail also offers beautiful view of the landmark with layers of cloud. The overlook is at the end of the trail. Visible craters on the right, sometimes covered with thick white cloud. The scenery constantly changes between cloudy and sunny while providing breath-taking views of nature.

  It's a great short hike, maybe 5-15 minutes depending on the person. It is however a great overlook of the crater and has a small, protected area with a couple of informative stands. It's a great place!

  Definitely stop at this lookout on your way up the mountain. You're rewarded with an epic, meteorological marvel. At this lookout toy see a reversal of what normally happens in nature in a theatrical discography. Instead of seeing the clouds rise over the mountain, you see them attempt a dramatic and ferocious climb upwards, but the trade winds from above deny them an escape and instead pushes them into a valley.
  
  You'll see it go from an impenetrable fog to a gorgeous unveiling of clouds that give you a temporary peek into another world of dry, arid, rolling mountains.
  
  The walk is manageable for most everyone (unless you can't walk uneven surfaces or the equivalent of stairs).
