Thread necromancy at it's best!
My difficulty is that I don't know ahead of times which areas in the ALW or GPW have a pit available and which do not. I have come across a couple that were not signed or obvious and I was just lucky to notice them. Maybe I should break down and buy a GPS and have folks upload "craper co-ordinates" to help
I think the view from the Lake Ellen Wilson seat in Glacier NP was one of my favorites, but I was seeing eagles and osprey that day, which added to the view.

That reminds me of this: http://www.toiletmap.gov.au/
This thread also reminds me of the story I heard about some Central American science project that was near a bat cave. Someone there had the bright idea of parking the outhouse over one of those caves, which meant that bats often would fly out of there.
They neglected to explain that whole bat thing to newbies using the outhouse for the first time.  
Sadly, right now I'm a poseur. Sigh.

Without giving away TMI I tend to get constipated while backpacking  (ewww!) so not much trail crapping expertise here either.
But I will say I do like the one at Larch Knob.
 approx view, this luxury latrine is a little ways to the left of here.

I'd never heard of Mt. David before reading this thread. And now I'm thinking about a trip there this summer just to see this rock toilet in person. I'm not a freak, honest!

There are actually two boxes here. I was sitting on the upper one enjoying the view of Glacier Peak once, and noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. I then realized I also had a great view of the lower box and it's occupant. 
Here's a nice one that was at Park Butte lookout (right next to the trail). Not sure if it exists anymore:

Please try to refrain from the "I've gone there" reaction if you recognize the outhouse.

That pic is soooo not right!
Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

Shouldn't that be "Park Butt"?
