Golden Gate Canyon
Panoramic taken of a glacier. Only took an hour to hike up to. Was surprisingly pleasant, sun was out, was unbelievably beautiful due to the brilliant sunshine against vast swaths of white.

"Decor, art and design concept are fabulous! Unfortunately, artificial fragrances in the public areas were overwhelming, unpleasant and unnecessary. The natural mountain would be a better option for ventilation in the public lobby."
