    Awesomeness

    A must stop at this state park when checking out our beautiful national parks in the State of Utah. Parking can be tight.

    Just go...you'll be glad you dod.

    Outstanding place for sunsets and panoramic views of a rare and special canyon in the Utah desert. Our time there was not overly crowded and we brought a pair of lawn chairs so that we could sit and move wherever we liked to get the...More

    Long way out for $20 Admission

    This is a spectacular vista point, ignoring the tour bus guy's monologue, but if you are heading south towards Canyonlands, a far better experience is a turn-off signed Canyonlads Overlook. This is not inside the park. The drive in is about 20 miles but you...More

    grand vistas

    I was a little taken aback at a $20 entrance fee at 5 PM; I suppose it's worth it if you're dirt biking. We had just left Island in the Sky at Canyonlands and the views were quite similar. I lost the Rim Trail on...More

    A must if you are there

    Entrance is 20 USD. It’s a great experience if the weather allows for great views. You will basically see the same or similar landscape like next door neighbor Canyonlands NP Island in the Sky. So if you have a pass for the NP you may...More

    It's well worth the short trip

    We left the "needles district" at Canyonlands and stopped at the advise of a park ranger on the way back to Moab. It doesn't take long and was well worth it with awesome scenery. It's an extremely nice state park with an excellent visitor center.

    Nice sunset

    It's a nice area to drive to with beautiful views. We went at sunset and there were lots of people doing the same, but we got great photos.

    Another lovely park to visit

    Great for people who aren’t up for steep climbs. Great vistas. Go in spring or fall for best weather!

    Truly astonishing

    This state park is a short detour on your way to Canyonlands and must not be missed. A truly astounding view and excellent parking/picnic facilities at the view. Do not miss it!
