This was taken from the Windy Ridge Observatory, open for a few months in the summer when the roads are clear of snow.

we didn't climb the stairs. This is from the end of the parking area at Windy Ridge, well south of the Johnson Creek Observatory.Nice where did you take this from ? It looks like you are south of the visitor center.
Keep up the hard work.
We were on our way home from a weekend camping trip so I towed our pop-up camper up that road. Would go again, but not with a trailer.I have been to Windy Ridge once, enough for me. I refer to the drive as a 10 mile black top mountain goat trail!!! Going TO Windy Ridge no big deal; it was a white knuckle drive returning. Zero guard rails and only the smallest bump on the edge indicating you are at the shoulder. Beyond that bump...nothing but over the edge and down, down, down. Driving back I straddled the centerline of the road as long as there were no vehicles coming head on. Going around some corners, you are looking out into sky and nothingness with your only reference point the other side of the road. Did that drive once, would be hard pressed to ever attempt it again. ONLY reason I went to Windy Ridge, wanted some pics of Spirit Lake. That drive was one of the scariest I have ever undertaken.
