Stonefort Creek From a New Vantage
While it is not a complete change, it is quite a different view from the bluff top. The trail opens some and offers interesting perspectives, particularly of places that you had just seen in the past hour. But here you're on the top and that old world is below.

Though I do imagine that if you can handle the wetness the flowing water creates beautiful waterfalls which can be viewed from the lower leg of the trail.
