4 months agoNice spot to take in the sunset while you look over Huntsville! Plenty of room to share with other people, and plenty of parking. It fills up quick right before sunset, so get there early to find a good spot and get settled in before the show. Can’t wait to go back when there are more clouds in the sky for added color! Stick around after the sun sets below the horizon for more cool colors
