A half hour earlier people were lined up here with tripods, pendleton blankets, and hot cups of coffee, packed in like sardine sheep trying to capture the perfect instagram sunrise.  One woman was even crying because there wasn't enough room for her to squeeze in to get the must-have shot.  After the sunrise they all left.  Everybody.  Turns out this spot is much more enjoyable after sunrise.
