Sand Island Recreation Area — Bears Ears National Monument
Reviewed Aug. 1, 2021

Convenient spot on the Utah loop

We stopped here on our loop of the Utah big 5. Weren't expecting much but it surprised us! There was a nice river and some petroglyphs a short walk away. Water fill and some picnic tables. Spots were of a reasonable size.

There was a boat put in, and it seemed like many people were canoe camping.

Close to Mexican Hat, Valley of the Gods and Goosenecks state park
