Mahoney State Park on the Lookout Tower
Head to the Mahoney State Park on the Lookout Tower. This spot is only a 14-minute walk from the main park entrance. Stand here as the sun sets toward the west, painting the sky in golden hues.

After the light fades, take a quiet moment back in the park. The evening air is crisp, and the silence of the plains sets in. Check the route if you need to return to your vehicle.
Local tip
