As other people have said this is just off the main route through the park and is easily accessible to all as only a short walk from parking so if you have limited time to spend in Capitol Reef then stop here to get a...More
This look out is close to the parking and provides a very dramatic view into the canyon. The trail was very hard to follow to the metal, protective look out so many people just walked to the edge, which was a bit dangerous. From the...More

Just a few miles before the visitors center, and just a few hundred feet hike, you can preview the grandiose scenery that awaits you.
