This is a gorgeous little spot and a fun historical/scientific find. Parking can be tricky, but it is worth the drive. Views of sunset are stunning and the astronomers working the telescopes are so helpful. The story of James Lick is intriguing, and the telescopes are such a treat to use. Often the amateur folks set up smaller scopes in the courtyard outside. There are multiple telescopes housed across the mountains as part of the UCal research.
