| So. Many. Stunning views |
Today we had extremely perfect weather for this section which includes several absolutely stunning viewpoints - complete with turquoise water. Very long drive between the two parking locations as there's no direct line from one to the other. BTC membership allowed for longer parking at Cypress Lake than is normally permitted (usual is 4h windows) which was good, since we ended up taking longer than that to hike, much less hike and get back!
| There were a number of people in this area, but very few after we left here |
The start of this was the Grotto, which we visited in spring; much busier now, so glad we took time to explore earlier. The hike itself ranged from wheel-chair accessible (Cypress Lake portion, out to the BT), to extremely technical and challenging terrain.

| Some significant ups and downs today! |
It also included large sections of rocky beaches which could be potential ankle twisters for sure.

Really perfect day though and we took our sweet time because of the many stunning views and photo ops :)
