Once you reach the top of the first series of steep switchbacks on the South Loop Trail, you arrive at a great overlook with panoramic views of Echo Canyon, Trail Canyon, Mummy Mountain, and Mount Charleston. You also get fantastic views into the valley below; you can even see the trailhead that you started from! This is a great place to rest, drink water and take photographs before heading up to the saddle between Mount Charleston and Griffith Peak. This overlook is also an excellent goal in and of itself if you're looking for a shorter hike than Griffith Peak or Mount Charleston on the South Loop Trail.
