We had a fabulous (short but steep) hike up from fern dell which is highly recommend. Exercise, great views and no parking issues. The observatory and the views are incredible and well worth seeing. Our 5 year old loved it too!

Es precioso ir por la noche y caminar alrededor del edificio. Es romántico y se pueden tomar preciosas fotos. En días no festivos es fácil parquear.
