    An excellent view and terrific photo opportunity. Arrive early to avoid the congestion of others. Cable car tickets must be purchased on site the day of use and the earlier the better.

    It's a really accessible photo spot with really great views all around. I would recommend continue walking along the path and not just staying where everyone are taking photos.
