I love scenic rest stops. Especially the ones that appear along a winding mountain road, almost as if they were placed there to make you slow down for a moment. They offer the perfect excuse to step out of the car, stretch your legs, and take in a view that wasn't even part of the plan. A few quiet minutes beneath the trees, the mountains layered one behind another in the distance, a couple of photos to remember the place — and then it's back on the road, carrying a little of that landscape with you.
