Truly surreal scenery, great for photos.

Tucked away on the side of a hill, away from busy traffic and noisy neighbors, hides a hidden gem that only nature could provide. After a short, but rocky, climb to the top, visitors will be captivated by the view that awaits them. At just the right time of day, the sun peeks through the columns that line the observatory deck, cast shadows on the hillside across the way and throws sparkling diamonds off the surface of the water below. Walk a short distance to your left and the guard rails disappear, leaving you with mixed emotions of astonishment and fear. The breath-taking view is perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike and you'll be sure to leave with a newfound respect and appreciation for the beauty of the world around us.
