These views are mind blowing. You may never feel this small again, you may never see views as stunning again. I’m not kidding. This place never ceases to amaze; it’s timeless. There’s only so much I can say before I start sounding repetitive. It’s an incredible place. Visiting here always restores balance in my life.

Recommendations:

• Visit during autumn or spring to avoid heat and major crowds.
• If visiting during summer time, it can get HOT! Like over 100 degrees. Be sure to pack lots of water and sun screen!
• Grab an early breakfast from Jailhouse Cafe or a breakfast burrito from Gilibertos!
• If visiting during summer months, head out extra early for sunrise, spend 12pm-3pm indoors and spend the evening exploring and enjoying an amazing sunset.
• Spend sunrise at Mesa Arch. It’s very possible that you’ll be surrounded by landscape photographers, but you’ll never see a sunrise so divine. Remember to be courteous to the photographers!
• Spend sunset at the Green River Overlook. The Green River Overlook is positioned perfectly for watching the sunset, but it’s also not as busy as the Grandview Point Overlook.
