This specific location has a few areas to explore once you reach the top. The trail continues around the summit to a viewpoint, and wooded area. This is great to allow for some variety in the landscape and backdrop of your photos while also giving you some room to explore. We decided on a small overlook for their vow exchange so that their dog, Jackson, could stay nearby.
