One word to describe this overview: WOW. The view from this viewpoint is spectacular and gives the visitor a wonderful panoramic view of a mountainous landscape with beautiful Spring Creek below which passes through the Collier State Park Memorial Logging Museum. This Viewpoint is open seasonly, since when the snow starts flying come November through April, the Forest Service road to this area is impassable.
The following text from the USDA Forest Service website:
The site offers a nice view of the headwaters of Spring Creek and a sign to help you identify landmarks. On most days you will be able to see raptors soaring in the winds just below the cliff. This overlook also has 5 picnic sites.
