Stunning view of a valley and...stuff in the valley. My eyesight isn't what it used to be and I wished that I had my binoculars with me. If you are planning a trek around the area, tote your telescope or binoculars. There's probably neat stuff to spy upon down in that valley.

You could stroll the trail, but we didn't. We sat on some rocks overlooking the vista and enjoyed the cool, clear day and the natural beauty. Lots of that, especially if you, like me, are from Florida, where the landscape rarely varies much in altitude or flora.

Don't get in a hurry on the roads leading to and from here, because they are incredibly twisty. We got passed in a no-passing zone although we were traveling at the posted speed limit...that reckless moron came within 50 feet of a head-on collision with an oncoming vehicle. Be safe, enjoy the great outdoors,...
