Ain’t nothing more romantic than standing on the ruins of a castle and gazing out at the mountains below so sweatily embracing the potential for body odour, snakes and dirt (it’s a small hike to get there) and check out this bomb-ass view. You won’t regret it. And if you do, just remember that you now have a sick ‘gram to post so we’re all winners, really. Simply drive up highway 154, chuck some drinks and snacks in the back and 30 minutes later voila, you’ve scored yourself an idyllic afternoon – bae or no bae. Stay to watch the sunset or scramble up some nearby rocks for even better views, either way you’re starting your weekend right.
