These 3 mountains are seen from one of the shuttle stops right after pick up at Canyon Junction. The Sand Bench Trail can also be accessed from this shuttle stop. It's not really a trail, but a short jaunt to a view point of the mountains. More

Good spot for photos about an hour after sunrise. Across the street is a paved walkway that goes up a little hill that provides a nice vantage point for photos. There are often a flock of turkeys around which can be prettty entertaining. More

One of the shuttle stops in the park. A very very short walk up a hill provides views of the three rock formations know as the Patriarchs. Great view! More
