ScenicEasySpringSummerYear-round
Escape the crowds at Bryce Canyon by driving the gravel road to this secluded overlook for a panoramic view of the Paria River Valley.
Itinerary tips

- 2Allocate at least 45 minutes for the drive from the main park road despite the short distance.
- 3Bring a camp chair and a blanket to comfortably enjoy the transition from golden hour to twilight.
- 4Check the current road status at the Bryce Canyon Visitor Center before heading out to ensure the gate is open.
- 5Pack a headlamp or flashlight for the short walk back to your car once the sun dips below the horizon.
- 6Download offline maps beforehand as cell service is non-existent along this primitive route.
