South Overlook Traditional Cache

This is the first view point the park road passes by on the way to the top of the hill.  When I was a teenager it was a great place for couples to park after dark.  The city lights were not visible from here but it was a good choice for those who wanted to avoid the more popular North Overlook crowds.

The South Overlook provides a nice vantage point to see, in order of distance, Kenwood Hill, Red Stone Hill, Cardinal Hill, Finley Hill, Jefferson Memorial Forest, and the 1-65 corridor. 

If you’re fortunate enough to visit while the road is closed to traffic take a few minutes and sit down on the nearby bench to enjoy the tranquility and view.
