I was up there earlier this year. All that is left are the concrete slabs where the buildings used to be and a calibration target on a nearby hill. There is a small fenced-in weather or seismic monitoring station next to the old site, which appears to be a fairly recent addition.

Besides the historic significance, the view from up there is quite spectacular. A great spot for monitoring some of the NTS trunking sites, too. The photo shows the site in the 1960's, when it was operational. The attached link has more info and photos of the NASA High Range and of the Beatty site.

The dirt road up there may require 4WD high clearance. There is a gate at the bottom of the road, where it intersects with the highway. To the best of my knowledge it is ok to pass the gate, as long as you close it behind you.
