As the name suggests, this is a lovely place to watch the setting sun. But it's also a great, full-daylight viewpoint for taking in the dramatic landscape all around you, including Sulphur Creek Canyon below.

A really great vantage point. If you stay in Torrey, you can spontaneously get here quickly if the weather is good. Just minutes from the parking lot, this spot is perfect for memorable sunsets. Tip: it is best to climb onto the small rocks. Then the view is a lot better.
