It is a popular tourist site that draws local and foreign tourists to the State.

The precipitous slopes of the intimidating ridge, views of a beautiful valley trapped between two ridges meet the eyes. The scenery features an extensive area of rich vegetation. The afternoon sun energized the greenery flavour of the valley below, forming it in a pleasant romance of bright and dark shades of leaf green. The tarred road descends down the other side of the ridge to meet the sleepy enclave of Ipole-Iloro. A small stream meets the road at the village entrance. It is called Oluwa stream, and being highly-revered by the people, it is said that the water can cure any kind of diseases.
