View from Roy Taylor Overlook

The Roy Taylor Overlook is a very nice leg stretcher (maybe 500ft?) that is 100% flat and even paved to a deck that overhangs the mountainside. There is plenty of seating on the deck, and would really make a wonderful spot for families to watch the sunset or take a break and eat a packed lunch.
