Would have loved to see a sunset from here but the pictures show what's coming and the Shasta was rocking that night. Total exposure in a parking lot that is probably full when the weather isn't so harsh.

Rest Area / Overnight Parking

This is advertised as a Picnic Area, but was told by border patrol and Apple Maps that is it considered a rest area. There are no facilities, but lots of parking & great views. Can get in/out with big rigs and 18-wheelers. Pretty stellar overlook too. Just be sure to fill up on gas before heading out this way. Also be mindful of the wind warnings.
