Daybreak at Tower Tunnel Overlook

Overview. The closer to Winter solstice, the better the sunrise views are at Tower Tunnel Overlook. While the sun was still just slightly obscured by trees, watching the fog bank roll in over The Breaks made for a wonderfully peaceful morning as the sun lit up Pine Mountain to the southwest.
