This is a great hysterical sight and public area that needs to be taken care of better than is by the public as the caretakers of the property are great and do amazing at taking care of it but its not easy for them when the public doesn't.

Please be curious and take your trash...

Absolutely beautiful, unfortunately I just learned about this location today. Unfortunately due to the extreme hot and humid weather i was only able to enjoy what I was able to see in my vehicle however I definitely will write a better review and have out of car photos next time I go when the weather is better
