Pins mark the viewpoint itself. Directions go to the parking or trailhead the curator checked. Seasonal roads hide themselves out of season, so nobody is sent to a locked gate.

Each picture is the ground round that viewpoint, seen from above, north up, with a pin on the spot. The photographs were taken on other days, so they show the place, not tonight’s sky.
