    Spent the day driving along the Arkansas River from Leadville to Johnson City and stopped at this scenic overlook for a picnic lunch. Unbelievable day with breathtaking scenery.

    From this vantage point, visitors get an amazing view of the Collegiate peaks. I was there most recently last week. It's very beautiful. I will say that it's even more remarkable later in the season.....  more

    Beautiful view of the Collegiate Peaks. Clean (park) bathrooms and picnic tables with grills. Great place to pull off and take a break. Kids enjoyed it, too.
