If you could get, "on-site"..they wouldn't let you have a camera.
If you could get to a mountain to shoot it from a distance, something like 5000mm. But, I think the govt increased the land they own around it...to prevent folks from camping out and taking pics.
800mm + doubler + adapter mount with X.X factor + Micro 4/3rds camera. Also as in a Nikon system - 1000mm +TC-201 + FT-1 + V1 = 5,400mm I think. Will need a steady tripod or stable rock. Good Luck.

Google Maps/Earth didn't really photograph it. Rather, they leased/purchased the satellite photos from a non-US Gov't agency that had photographed the location (I heard it was from the Russians, but I can't find the source anymore).
As to de-classified, the gov't has only acknowledged that something exists in that vicinity and nothing more.

That's correct, Sovinformsputnik, although there are images from the late '60s taken by USGS/NASA as well.
More recent IKONOS images are available at several sites, including the Federation of American Scientists' site:
