If you have time and want scenic photos then take a trip to the prospect mountain park. The drive up the mountain is gorgeous and there are several scenic view spots along the way where you can park your car and take some really awesome photos. I would suggest getting a nice camera so that your photos can capture a lot of the details which surround this beautiful city.
The park at the top of the mountain makes for good family fun as there are picnic tables and BBQ grills where you can have a good time checking out the views and eating. I would highly suggest bringing food with you here so that you can sit on a table and have a nice picnic. There will be families and couples all over taking photos so its a good way to spend some time relaxing during the day.
If you are visiting in the summer then I would recommend carrying bottles of water with you and to also wear comfortable shoes. There isint any shops or restaurants any where on the mountain so to get any thing means you have to exit the park and the mountain and go to the nearby town. There is a bit of history there as well as old cable cars were used to transport goods back and forth so if you are interested then there are signs with information on them.
The prospect mountain also has trails where hikers can choose and enjoy scenic hikes so that makes a good activity in the summer. This mountain also has snow sports in the winter so this attraction is open all year round and caters to all seasons. I would highly suggest this if you have some time on your vacation and want to just relax and enjoy some scenic photos.
