Small roadside overlook above the Meramec River valley offering sweeping views of river bends, forested bluffs and seasonal color. Ideal for sunrise/sunset panoramas and long lenses on migrating birds. Easy access from E Osage St with a handful of parking spaces; no fee. Best light: golden hour and late-afternoon backlight. Weekdays and off-season reduce crowds; bring insect repellent in spring/summer.
