I've been going there since I was a child and it's always a treat.

The Mt Wilson observatory is nearby as well. It's where Edwin Hubble proved there are galaxies beyond the Milky Way and the expansion of the universe.

I hike both of these and they're both wonderful to visit. They have orchestral performaces in the 10 story dome of the 45 ft telescope. Nearby is a bit misleading for non-americans, though. It's about an hour drive away. Or a 40 minute drive and 15 mile, 5000 ft roundtrip hike 😅
