Excellent view, and nicer getting to see with Fall Foliage near peak! This forest road drive is really nice, so continue up to the even more amazing Penn's View. Did this after doing Poe Paddy Tunnel hike, then after driving up to see the vistas, continued over to the Coburn Tunnel which was really cool too!
