Best Canyon Views

This is definitely the place with the best canyon views you can get! The spots are right on the edge of the cliffs (be careful with your pets and in the dark). Fire rings are right up on the edge so can see the entire canyon while you hang out. The road in is pretty short and mostly sandy, but there are some slick rocks and steep drop offs. I would highly recommend a higher clearance 4x4 but there was someone in a VW Tiguan so it’s doable in a basic SUV if you know what you’re doing. Turn in from Island in the Sky/Grand View Point Road. If you’re on your way into Canyonlands going south, the road will be on your left. It’s not marked but the coords are approximately 38°30'01.9"N 109°47'39.4"W for where the turn in is. 1 bar of LTE Verizon but not enough to get a message to send.
