Ridgeback Overlook has stunning views across the valley to the mountains on the opposite side. Great place to be for sunset!. It is exposed so be aware of any thunderstorms in the area.

Ridgeback Overlook has stunning views across the valley to the mountains on the opposite side. It's a tough climb to one of the highest points in the Preserve but the views are worth it. Great place to be for sunset!
