Best Photo Spots Along the HOHO Route

From sunrise to night, the HOHO loop delivers excellent photo opportunities. This guide gives times, framing tips, and quick camera settings.

Rocky Steps — dramatic light at sunrise or sunset; use a wide‑angle for the steps and skyline.
Benjamin Franklin Parkway — long perspective shots toward the Art Museum.

City Hall — illuminated architecture; use a tripod or steady surface and long exposure for light trails.

Wide‑angle for skylines; 50–85mm for portraits; ISO 100–400 in daylight, increase cautiously at night.
