We went up a couple of times. Once to watch a meteorite shower and another time just to view the stars.

I doubt there are many places on earth so easily accessible where light pollution is virtually nil. It's really worth the effort of the trip. Seeing so many stars so clearly is amazing You can pick out many constellations. Wrap up though if you decide to go ;)

I've done it. Went up to watch the sunset and ended staying 5 hours. Magical
