Island Park is located just below you. From 1883 until 1945 it was the home for the Ruple Family who built a cabin and established a cattle ranch in the canyon next to the Green River. The viewpoint is also the trailhead for the 9.2-miles roundtrip along the Ruples Point Trail that leads through sagebrush, juniper trees and pine forest to a spectacular viewpoint of the Green River and surrounding mountains.
