8 places
  1. 01 · Bryce Canyon & the approach

    Choose Bryce Point for a broad amphitheater view. Combine it with another rim stop when the road is accessible, rather than adding another long descent.

  2. 02 · Bryce Canyon & the approach

    Choose Inspiration Point for the layered hoodoo view, then decide how far along the rim you want to walk. Do not assume the onward rim section is accessible in winter.

  3. 03 · Bryce Canyon & the approach

    Sunrise Point works as a rim stop or the start of a longer walk. Choose the descent only with enough time and energy for the return.

    Mather Point is a South Rim viewpoint near the visitor-center area. Leave time for parking or shuttle connections before continuing to a rim walk.

  5. 05 · Moab, Arches & Canyonlands

    Dead Horse Point is a Utah state park, separate from Canyonlands. Check its own entrance arrangements before adding it to an Island in the Sky day.

  6. 06 · Moab, Arches & Canyonlands

    Grand View Point is in Canyonlands Island in the Sky. Pair it with that district’s stops rather than treating all Canyonlands districts as one day.

  7. 07 · Monument Valley & the San Juan country

    Forrest Gump Point is a US-163 roadside view north of the tribal park entrance. Use safe parking and remain out of the traffic lanes.

  8. 08 · Page & the border country

    Leave walking time and sun protection for Horseshoe Bend. It is an exposed approach to a rim viewpoint, not a pull-over photograph from the car.
