    This overlook is one of my favorites in Canyonlands National Park. It is just inside the park, is very close to the main road, and gives you a beautiful taste of what you will see in this park...  more »

    The area offers good and short hiking options (Aztec Butte, Whale Rock, Grand View Rim, and others). I'd suggest you don't waste your time at Upheaval Dome.  more »
