We never even knew this place existed but are happy we found it. We came here on a Monday and it was very quiet. There were a handful of other people but the parking lot was pretty empty. Driving in was pretty neat to pass thru the base. We hiked down from the top to the tidepools and it was not a bad little hike. It was a cooler day so that also helped. Walking around and reading all the info on the buildings was pretty cool and then the views were awesome. We will definitely be back to check out more down the road
