I would recommend this stop specifically to people that enjoy views and checking which exactly hill is which. To enjoy the trees themselves, I would say that some other places where you are closer to the trees are better.

Keys View is one of the highest spots in the park on top of the Little San Bernardino Mountain range that overlooks the Coachella Valley and Palm Springs, including the active San Andreas fault. It has great views of both the San Jacinto and San Bernardino Mountains, including the snowcapped pillars of San Jacinto and San Gorgonio, two of most prominent mountains in North America. For all of these reasons, it is a top draw and an amazing view any time of day. However, at sunset, it is truly magical. We visited shortly after entering the park in the late afternoon. It is a 40 minute ride from the Cholla Garden but we made it in time for an incredible sunset in the clouds. The colors are spectacular and despite massive crowds, there are places you can take pictures that give the impression you are all alone in the park. Speaking of parking that may be the toughest thing to do here. You can see the view from the parking lot, but a slight uphill walk will lead you to the best views. Still parking at sunset is crowded. We were fortunate to get the last parking place by the restrooms and have our friends double park behind us. Also know that in the spring, it can be cool and windy here. You will notice after short sleeves in the Cholla, we were bundled with gloves here. This one of those things that can appear to be overhyped before coming that lives up to and exceeds expectations. Be sure to come here on your visit and try to plan for it to be sunset.
