This point offers amazing views of an open canyon (with a bathroom just in case). Many people drive up to this point, but they are missing the canyon hike on the way up. You can head back down from this point, or continue on to the much longer (and scenic) Lookout Mountain Trail.

Nice view, very close to the city and yet it feels remote.
