Amazing quiet views

High clearance or 4x4 road getting out there. I saw about 4-6 spots people have camped in around this pin, and while I was there, 4 of the spots were taken. Amazing views off the mesa. Nice and quiet.

Epic Sight

We found this one through the Dyrt app and was glad we did. We had rented a Toyota 4x4 through Turo and it worked out perfectly for this trail. Definitely recommend 4x4 with some clearance but it’s not overly difficult to navigate or crawl through. Plenty of camp sites along the rim of the canyon. And plenty of privacy if you space apart.

Hard to beat

Incredible views and not a sound for miles. Worth the drive, anyone who does it without 4x4 and good clearance is a beast or is just ok with trashing their car. Driving south on Island in the Sky road turn left onto the “Big Flat Trail” according to Apple Maps at 38.50379° N, 109.80542° W. Then there will be an obvious fork to the right that leads to the edge of the canyon.
