scenic viewpoints

Scenic viewpoints are designated spots, often on hills, mountains, or along roads, offering broad, impressive views of the surrounding landscape. They are built or maintained to allow visitors to enjoy the natural beauty, often providing safety features like railings or benches. These viewpoints enhance the experience of a journey by providing a place to pause, take in the scenery, and appreciate the area's geography, vegetation, or urban landscape. They are popular for photography, relaxation, and gaining a deeper understanding of the environment's scale and beauty.
