The parking lot is not signposted and the forest path looks like a secret tip. Shortly before reaching the viewpoint, however, is a fully equipped picnic area with toilet. The viewpoint offers a 360 degree view of the Grand Canyon. We had the prospect for ourselves. The last 50 meters are reserved for vertigo-free Kraxlern. We left out the piece.

A hidden gem within the park. There's a small dirt lot along the road before a gated forest road. Walk along the forest road until the very end when the view opens. Pit toilet and recycling bins are available next to several picnic tables at the end.
