Lookout Point
Scenic spot
👍 Great view and nice plaque pointing out some highlights. There is no official place to park, but we parked on the street for about 10 minutes and no other cars came by during that time. Safe to say it's not a busy spot. Weird haze in photo is smoke from Canadian wildfires.

An interesting tour, took me about...
