Shuttle buses will take you up to the point, which remains relatively less crowded than other spots in the park. Sunset and sunrise are particularly memorable, but no time of day disappoints with these vistas. Powell Point is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our , online itinerary creator Edition.

By far the best lookout point in our opinion. I decided this spot was so beautiful I even proposed to my girlfriend up there! It’s quiet and secluded away from the crowds.

Beautiful sunrise view. Busses start at 430, and *roughly* every 30 minutes on the red line. One left just before I got there at 547. Next didn't leave until 625. Takes 15 or so from the bus stop. So plan accordingly if you want to see the sunrise.
