We walked the first time, then drove partway the second time because our time was limited. It's an extremely steep Jeep track up to the sort-of parking area for the lookout.

Great perspective.
I'm glad we're not going up!

Thanks, everyone! Actually, the psychology of climbing is easier--you don't notice the exposure as much. My wife found she could only go down the stairs by watching her feet.

Thanks! The lookout itself is built on the edge of a 300 ft cliff, and there's a catwalk all the way around--whose floor consists of a see-thru grate, so that on the outer part you're looking straight down. I made myself walk around it, but my wife flatly could not go out there. All psychology, of course--the grate struts were heavy steel. Here's the catwalk:

Here's the only view I have of the butte and lookout from a distance (I didn't take _nearly_ as many pictures before digital ;):

You can see the uppermost and top part of the middle flights of stairs; I've flagged them with notes.
