However, if you make it to one of the higher vantage points just before the break of dawn, you\u2019ll be rewarded with sublime scenery amidst nature\u2019s serenity.<\/p>\n

An easy way to get to the Lookout is via the entry point in front of the Peak Galleria, and this makes the road a popular walking route for dog owners. While the panoramic view of the skyline from Lugard Road is majestic at any point of the day, those first hours of the morning are truly something special.<\/p>\n
