Stars galore, as well as specific constellations and planets (that can be identified via apps such as Skyview Lite), and the odd shooting star. The spot is most famous for the views it offers of the Milky Way, the galaxy that the Earth’s solar system is part of.
To the naked eye, the Milky Way shows up as a band of light that is actually the starlight emitted from the clusters that form the galaxy. You don’t need a telescope or any other equipment to see this on a clear night.
Above all, say those in the know, the spot is a peaceful yet humbling reminder of the universe at large.
