Murphy Point is one of my favorite hikes in the Island of the sky and the point offers amazing views of the Green river below. Given it faces west, its a great option for sunset with similar views to Green Canyon Overlook, but likely less busy given a hike is involved. This is an out and back with very little gain so makes it a perfect option for any ability hiker.
