Park Point Overlook, at 8,572 feet above sea level, is the highest point in Mesa Verde National Park and offers breathtaking panoramic views. This historic site features a fire lookout station, which remains operational during fire season to monitor weather conditions and potential wildfires. From this vantage point, visitors can see the peaks of the San Juan Mountains, the high deserts of New Mexico, Sleeping Ute Mountain, and the La Plata Mountains. The overlook includes picnic tables, seasonal restrooms, and parking for vehicles, but visitors are encouraged to stay on marked paths due to potential rockfalls. Access may be restricted during winter when the road is not plowed.
