Reply with your photos of scenic overlooks. Be sure to state where the photo was taken!

I'll go first:

Horseshoe Bluff, Shawnee National Forest, Pomona, Illinois - this is an area that not a lot of people really go to. You can see the bend of the Big Muddy River on it which IMO is the prettiest part of the river.

Kuwohi scenic overlook. This was previously known as Clingmans Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
 
Did you do the Smokies for the hikes or for your bride:)
We both had talked about wanting to go a few years ago. And when we decided to get married, we figured it would be a great honeymoon location. So, a little of both haha :) The mountains were a different hike though, pretty strenuous than what we are used to.
