Very pretty, I got some nice sunset photos.

Nice overlook. Somewhat overgrown so the view isn't as pretty as it used to be.

This was one of the best views looking west towards George Washington and Jefferson National Forest. The trees are not right in front of you and it is slightly elevated area.

I am fascinated by the prospects of looking up into the night sky and seeing a thick blanket of celestial objects in the way our ancestors experienced not more than a century ago. But Edison and Tesla (not the car company) saw to the end of that in my region of sky. I am talking about the light pollution from our densely packed urban areas that block out all but a few stars and of course the moon. There is an app - The Light Pollution Map, that shows where light pollution is heaviest and areas where it is not. This overlook falls on the border where to the south and east there is low to moderate light pollution but....there is a huge swath of sky visible, clear from neighboring mountains and trees overhead where I am sure on a dark and clear night there is a sight to behold. Unfortunate I am here on a cloudy day and will not have the fortune to see if my theory is true. I encourage everyone to look up “Dark Skies” where you will find many links to actual spaces where you can go to see this phenomenon yourself - many do.
