The trail to the first overlook is paved concrete that is wheelchair and stroller friendly.

You should take a lot of water with you at 38 degrees...

The **Grand View Point Overlook** is located at the southernmost end of Main Street in the "Island in the Sky" district of **Canyonlands National Park**.

It offers one of the **most spectacular panoramic views** in the park.

* **View:** From here, you can survey an immense landscape of rugged canyons, mesas, and rock needles carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries.
* **Special Features:** You can see the famous **White Rim Road** (a popular off-road vehicle and mountain bike route) and see as far away as the **La Sal Mountains** and the rock formations of the **Needles District**.
* **Access:** A short, easy walk (first paved, then an optional longer hiking trail) leads from the parking lot to the overlook at the cliff edge.
