Waypoint KFC
I mentioned earlier in the week that this particular spot on White Top is a very popular place. Combined with it’s close proximity to the road it is one of the best locations around to watch the sun go down. It is so popular that a bench was built facing the west so visitors could have a place to sit while they watch the beautiful sunsets that can be seen from here. The plaque dedicates the bench to the memory of a hiker from Florida.
With the bench being so close to the trail and at the top of the ridge it seemed appropriate to call this a ‘Waypoint’. Believe me, after hiking up this hill you definitely need a place to sit and catch your breath! In a little less than a 1/2 of a mile you climb to nearly 300 feet above the road.

Looks like a good place to stop and reflect. Nice job.

Nice one, Curt.
I’d love to be sitting there watching the wonderful scenery. This is quite a view. Nice work!

Reminds me of a bench I saw in Australia looking over into the ocean. Nice shot!

Thanks Kristi! It looked really out of place until I realized the direction it was facing. The second night I went back there was actually a couple using it to watch the sunset.
Great scene and awesome photo!
