  • This stop was worth the drive out of the way to get there. Spectacular sky-high views of nearby cities and Joshua Tree. The walk to the view is paved but steep and very short to get to.

  • Amazing viewpoint overlooking the Coachella valley. Some parts are under construction right now and access is limited but still worth the drive for this view.

  • Good god saw the most spectacular sunset here It was super crowded though so be wary and mask up. The parking started far off just because everyone wants to come here to watch the sunset. Now we get why the advice is to get here 30-40minutes before sunset so you can bag a good parking spot There’s some benches at the top where you can picnic too but definitely hit this place up for beautiful views at sunset time Also got a tiny toilet here too but there’s just one so there was a long line waiting for it!
  • This is an amazing view. You have to drive a bit to get to the spot. It's definitely worth the drive. On a good day you can see Salton sea and may be Mexico. Very peaceful and serene. Tranquility at it's best.
  • You definitely want to check out the spot on a clear day. You can see for miles and miles and miles and you are on top of the world, it is very windy. Definitely want to have a hat or ear covering of some sort. Best sunset spot you'll find
  • Beautiful view!!! Seems like I got lucky with one of the clearer days for the view. It was windy and cold (in December), would wear warm clothes. Parking space for about 20 cars, a couple min walk up the slope but you can also see the view from the parking lot.
  • Very impressive overlook. It looks like a painting. It’s very crowded so make sure you come early or just after the sun sets as cars are leaving. Try to find a peaceful spot.
