We climbed up on the rock outcroppings and had a sub sandwich picnic while waiting for the sunset. When we arrived the place was quiet and we had our choice of places to sit. However, I wish we would have wandered on a little farther as the place we chose got very busy at sunset, and not everybody enjoys the solitude that we do. Make sure you bring a jacket because it does get chilly once the sun disappears. Most people left once the sun disappeared, but we stuck around, and I got some more amazing pictures. Parking is very limited, which is why we chose to go early with a picnic. You pretty much have to be able to climb up on some rocks to be able to see the sunset from this viewpoint; the view from the parking lot is blocked by the rock outcroppings. I wish I would have brought a blanket to sit on. We did not see any wildlife, which wasn't a surprise due to how loud other individuals were. I would recommend this spot to others.

On Cactus Forest Drive, there is an outcropping of rocks known as Javelina Rocks. They are made to climb and get pictures and that is what we did. It was great to the see the cactus with the Santa Catalina Mountains in background.
