The overlook is a simple roadside pullout on the west side of the road, with an angular retaining wall about 84 feet (26 m) long.

The wall was built out of quarried novaculite stone set with grapevine mortar joints in 1935 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

It is one of only two CCC-built overlooks in the national forest, and the only one built with these particular materials.
