Access & Safety
While most viewpoints are only a short walk, to get those epic photos, you may be on uneven paths and rocks. Bring sturdy footwear {you can change them later!} and always be aware of your surroundings.
Timing and Lighting
Sunrise and sunset provide the most magical light for photography and minimize crowds.
