If youre up in Idylwild and looking for a scenic sunset over looking, this is the place.

Gorgeous views and easily accessible to all (wheelchair access too with ramps).

Beautiful. I was most surprised that it wasnt covered with graffiti like every other stationary object in California.

It is what it is, a beautiful scenic view. Yiu can see a body of water in the distance. If you stay on the path its lovely; however, off trail there is quite a bit of trash...

Majestic views on the road to Idyllwild California, the Splendor and the beauty of the earth displayed for your eyes and the serenity of peace.

A nice scenic overlook on the side of the road. The views are nice but can be limited due to the haze or smog in the valley below. A good place to rest or take a break and enjoy the views.

Great place to stop after driving down the mountain to get a view of the stark contrast in biomes.The only reason I didnt give it five stars is due to all the trash.

Its really easy to get to, just go down a little farther like the rest of the reviews say. You cant see much from the designated lookout location, but you can see a really nice view just a few feet farther down.

Such a beautiful vista.Thank God for the beauty of nature.

Very nice vista to stop and take a couple pics

You could hear the wind. The view was beautiful God is great

Amazing views with plenty of safe pull over opportunities.

It is definitely scenic! Nice short concrete path.

The view is great from the overlooks. Haze did block some of the vistas

Nature galore. Its off the 243 Scenic drive with picnic areas, nearby campgrounds and plenty of scenic views.

Beautiful viewpoint.

Nice place to spot, but the view is partly blocked by bushes and trees.

Beautiful scenic views, I saw 4 different lizards

A short, well paved walkway to a lovely scenic overlook. Small parking area. No facilities.

Amazing place to stop and take in the mountainous landscapes.

Great views! Watch out for snakes at summer time

You have to stop and see the view at this place. Its extraordinary.

Cool spot with great views and not a hike to see them.

Simply amazing.

Great views from here.

So quiet early in the morning

Nice to get out!! So peaceful

Beautiful weather and sinic drive...

Beutifull!

Peaceful good views nice clean area

Beautiful views of the mountains and valley, and quiet location

Great views of the valley.

Great view.

Great spot to take it all in.

There are better turnouts with more sweeping views, but this is the only one with interpretive signs on the Banning-Idyllwild Hwy 243.

Beautiful overrlook. Well worth taking the time, so stop & have a look.

So peacefully beautiful

Gorgeous views! Use trail down to split rock

Beautiful,cool, peaceful, walk on mountains.

Very nice place

Remarkable! Outstanding! Beautiful! Well worth the drive to see this amazing and remarkably clean & glorious work of nature! You will be so happy to see such a glorious site:-)

The drive through to the 10 Fwy is closed but this is a nice drive and worth checking out. Very beautiful

Very beautiful place to visit with family

Beautiful stop!

Absolutely beautiful Great trails to hike everywhere!!!

Cool spot to stop

Beautiful views! (No facilities)

Nice Lookout Point I recommend stopping by there in the evening isnt watching the sunset there are no bathrooms at this location we stopped at every time I go by

You gotta see this...see it...view...get it!?!

This is a GREAT stop while driving along the highway. They have a wonderful information marker that helped you understand where you were and what was around you. We really enjoyed the view and the information provided. We cant wait for the opportunity to drive and stop on this road again.

Great view

Good views.

Some of the bushes need to be cut back to really enjoy the view. I suppose you can climb the big boulder there but thats not possible for some and shouldnt have to be necessary.

Good spot for pictures or falling off a big rock trying to snap that one good shot. They probably dont want anyone doing this but a few more steps down the trail from the designated site will get you a clearer view shot.

Proposed here. She said yes!

Probably once a great overlook, but plants need trimming to see it. Good place to take animals out for brief stretch.

Smells super bad and deer flys are already in your face

The views of the beautiful vistas have been made easier to learn about since they named it and established a walking trail. Plan to stop and stretch your legs here.

Great spot to get a look of the valley towards Hemet. Vehicle access was difficult the day we were there, after a recent snowfall. We parked at the road and walked in. If I had a 4 wheel drive vehicle, I would have done it, but our small rental car had limited ground clearance, and the passengers didnt want to push if we got stuck!

Peaceful

Beautiful view after walking down the path. Clear skies later in the afternoon will allow one to see the Pacific Ocean from here, too. Very nice.

Easy place to view the mountains and valley below. Short walk.

Its worth stopping, but not much there. The huge rock at the Vista point and view of the lake is nice. No amenities.

Very nice view

Very good ...

You have to climb up the ro,k to get a good view

MARVELOUS SCENERY!!!!A MUST DO!!

Nice point of view

Just a great wide spot in the road. Waiting to be explored.

Beautiful view

Nice views. A good point to get out and stretch after driving up there.

Its ok, but if I was in charge to find somewhere for Vista view, I had moved this site to South for 500 Yard! Better for viewing and photographing.

Beautiful spot. Make comes up on you pretty fast but worth the stop for sure.

Best Jeepin on the mountain

Nice view

Good hiking

Gorgeous spot to take in the beauty of nature. Breezy!

Worth the stop

Great views.

Not a great view, the turnoff before was better

Perfect place to watch the sunset

Not a good enough view to warrant pathway development. Inadequate parking.

Very cool great view

Gorgeous!

️

Wow

Great view point on the way

Great views

Great view. Too bad, no restroom.

No potty, view blocked by shrubs and trees.

Growth prevented much of a view.

Great view

Views are mostly blocked by trees. Not really worth stopping.

Great views of the I.E.

Nice rest stop, with excellent views.

Good Vista trees are hiding the view

Snow with parking and a view that will make you sob.

It was beautiful to stand there and look at the view of the valley...

Beautiful views

Beautiful scenery and view!
