The best Utah Road trip – with roadside viewpoints
If you decide to do a Utah Road trip then you’re already winning. Utah has the most spectacular landscapes, which are so unique, funky and other worldly.
What I didn’t realise is that there are tonnes of viewpoints that you don’t need to hike to in Utah. We did almost every single corner of Utah and have a great understanding of all the different national parks and places that you should be visiting. The Utah National Parks and State Parks are second to none!
If you’re limited for time… My favourite viewpoints are: The Bentonite Hills, Bryce Sunset Point, Dead Horse Point and Panorama Point.

I honestly love a good hike, but in the summer of Utah it can be almost unbearably hot!
We definitely did Mighty Five in Utah – the five most famous and popular national parks in Utah that are renowned for having some of the most incredible landscapes and unusual places to visit. Five national parks that are incredible, some of the best in the United States!
I also have lots of information on the best hikes you should do in each national park so don’t miss these if you’re an avid hiker and also after some incredible views. I flew into Salt Lake City and road tripped all the way to Vegas, not before stopping at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

The Best Utah Road trip with viewpoints
I basically cannot hike in the middle of the day in summer of Utah.
It gets so hot in summer it is around 40°C or around 108 or 109°F. It’s basically boiling and pretty much unbearable. The amount of water you need to carry around for a hike is so great because it’s just so hot so we saved a lot of our hikes in the evening, but during the day what we would do is , drive to a lot of no hike viewpoints to admire the views and thankfully sit in a car with AC.
There are a tonne of roadside viewpoints. You work regret a National Parks Road Trip, here is the ultimate road trip itinerary.
If you’re doing a Utah road trip from Vegas, then go from the bottom of this article upwards. I did Salt Lake City to Vegas.
What is the Mighty 5 in Utah?
The “Mighty 5” refers to the five spectacular national parks in Utah, some which say are some of the most beautiful in the USA:
- Arches National Park
- Bryce Canyon National Park
- Canyonlands National Park
- Capitol Reef National Park
- Zion National Park
These parks are renowned for their stunning landscapes – I was also surprised to notice that each park has a very distinct landscape and feel to it!
I found Arches to have, a tonne of naturally formed stone arches, Bryce is known for its Hoodoos (spires/pinnacles that jut into the sky), Canyonlands for its canyons, Capitol reef had unreal mountains, colourful and otherworldly landscapes and Zion National Park seems to sit at the very bottom of a gigantic gorge.
I’d also recommend the state parks in Utah – equally as beautiful. Coral Pink Sands State Park, Dead Horse Point State Park and Goblin Valley State Park are also stunning!
viewpoints & National Parks around Moab
Let’s start at Moab, the best place to start your National Park road trip.
Moab Hotels
Where to stay? Have a look at Aarchway Inn. If you’re visiting Moab, I highly recommend staying at the archway Inn. It is literally opposite arches National Park and it’s very close to Dead Horse Point and Canyon lands National Park.
It has a very cute pool where you can see the incredible landscape and Canyons nearby so I highly recommend staying here.
It’s also worth checking out Springhill Suites by Marriott.
Dead horse point State Park
So starting with national parks near Moab, you should definitely be visiting at Dead horse point I heard dead horse point was a great place to watch the sunset so we planned our itinerary to admire the views from dead horse point.
As you drive through the state park, you will be able to stop at some of the many viewpoint along the way.
I have a full guide the best viewpoints to stop at in Dead Horse Point State park.
Dead Horse Point Overlook
Make sure you finish around half an hour before sunset at the very end of the road which is the dead horse point overlook or the dead horse point viewpoint – watch as the Sun sets over some of the most incredible views. It literally has everything from pinnacles and spires to horseshoe band to the Colorado river and Canyons.
Meander Overlook
Don’t head straight to the dead horse point viewpoint as there are a number of different places along the way that you should visit; just from the roadside.
Go a little further along and you’ll also spot this viewpoint at Meander Point.
Arches National Park
Archer National Park is famously known for the archers, surprise surprise.
And honestly, it’s probably more beautiful than you think it will be. It’s absolutely stunning. There is a ton of different arches located all around the park.
As with most of the arches you can park nearby and you probably won’t be walking for more than 3 to 5 minutes to reach the archway on pretty flat and level ground. However if you do have access requirements then you might find a bit difficult because some of the pathways are a little bit Sandy.
Most arches are within 3 to 500 steps of the car park so it’s an easy win if you’re not an avid hiker or if you feel like it’s too hot to hike.
Courthouse Towers
This is a very quick and easy stop on your trip into Arches National Park. It’s right by the entrance and it is a significant impressive start to the Arches National Park journey!
Tower of Babel
This is another stop on the way and an iconic viewpoint – a lone tower jutting out of the landscape, earning it its name of Tower of Babel.
It is a collection of towering sandstone monoliths and spires that create an awe-inspiring landscape.
The name “Tower of Babel” comes from its resemblance to the biblical structure, with its imposing height and rugged appearance. This area is easily accessible and offers breathtaking views. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when the light enhances the rich colours and textures of the sandstone – and we arrived just as the sun was setting!
Phallus pillar
Also, this is definitely a bit of a cheeky one, but don’t mess Phallus Pillar. We definitely had a little giggle stopping here and is worth a fun stop that maybe not if you have young children.
Named because it looks like… a tower of sorts.
Balanced Rock
Balanced Rock in Arches National Park is one of the park’s most iconic and easily recognizable features. This impressive formation consists of a massive, 3,600-ton boulder precariously perched on top of a small sandstone pedestal.
Easily accessible from the park road, it offers stunning views, especially at sunrise and sunset when the colours are most vibrant in those reds and oranges of the setting sun.
Double arch
Double arch is the crown jewel this is the main archway I wanted to see in archers national park and it’s well worth a visit here if you have time.
As it says on the tin, Double Arch has two giant natural arches that share the same stone base.
This unique structure is easily accessible via a short walk from the parking area. You even get a chance to walk beneath the arches. The arches create a striking silhouette, especially during sunrise and sunset, making it a popular spot for photography and exploration.
Elephant Butte
Don’t miss Elephant butte on your walk back from the double arch!
It’s not hard to miss and it’s easy to see why it gets its namesake!
north Window arch
You’ve got to check out North Window Arch when you’re at Arches National Park. It’s super easy to get to and the views, especially at sunrise or sunset, are amazing. The trail is short and well-kept, so it’s perfect for everyone – you’ll love seeing this massive arch up close!
It’s probably around 300 steps to the arch and it’s absolutely stunning at sunset!
Turret Arch
You’ve got to visit Turret Arch when you’re at Arches National Park.
It’s a really cool spot with its unique shape and the short, easy hike makes it accessible for everyone.
Plus, it’s right next to North and South Window Arches, so you can hit up all three in one go!
Salt Valley overlook
Make sure you stop by Salt Valley overlook which is on the way to the sand arch the broken arch and the skyline arch which are all very famous in Arches national Park – it’s on the way to delicate arch.
Canyonlands National Park
Canyon land National Park is literally full of viewpoints that you don’t have to hike to-hiking is optional and pretty much all drive up.
There are plenty of different hiking trails if you wish to do them but many of the viewpoints you don’t have to hike to.
Viewpoint opposite the Visitor’s Centre
The first viewpoint that you are going to want to stop at is opposite the island in the sky of visitor centre for canyonlands National Park.
It’s always a good idea to visit the visitor centres of each National Park and State Park just because they have some incredible recommendations for hidden gems local spots lots of different hiking trails for different duration length and difficulties. Let’s also not forget the fact that you can stamp your little passport book, for each visitor centre you visit in each National Park.
If this wasn’t enough, make sure you cross the road and get some photos here looking over the Schafer basin.
This is the famous winding road viewpoint and it has incredible views of the canyons surrounding.
Just be aware that it is a little windy towards the edge of the canyon and also there are no security rails so do not get too close to the edge.
My view from a safe distance and simply enjoy.
Schafer Trail viewpoint
As you drive on from the visitor centre, you’ll pass signs for the neck and the Shaffer Trail viewpoint. Trust me on this one this is possibly the best viewpoint in all of canyonlands National Park and it’s so close to the entrance. It has some incredible views of the Schaeffer basin Road which is exceptionally famous for the winding back-and-forth photography you see everywhere as well as, incredible jutting canyons.
Mesa trailhead
I have included the mesa arch trailhead because the walk is only particularly short.
It’s probably around a 10 minute walk it is over sandy area so if you want to skip it then head onto the next one however if you can manage a 10 to 15 minute walk to the mass arch it’s definitely a beautiful viewpoint in the region.
Green River overlook
The green river overlook has some incredible views. There are viewpoints right next to the car park where you can overlook the green Rhiann see some incredible landscapes.
If you’re up for a very short scramble over the rocks head right if you’re looking at the viewpoint from the car park and clamber over and you’ll see this view picture pictured below.
You will have to climb over some rocks so only do this if you are an experienced hiker and used to clambering over some rocks but it is spectacular if not just enjoy from the car parking lot.
Candlestick tower Overlook
Once again the candlestick tower overlook is exceptionally iconic to Utah and canyonlands National Park and you’ll see it in many photographers ports and you can pull up right next to the road. You’ll have to walk across some flat rocks to see the candlestick tower and honestly it’s worth it. We also took some super fun photos , that look like there is a cliff underneath, but in actual fact it was just a couple of feet off the ground but it’s a fun photo opportunity.
If you head north west or slightly to your right there will also be another amount of rocks where you can climb on and get some exceptional viewpoints.
Buck Canyon overlook & Orange cliffs overlook
If you get a chance head to the Buck Canyon overlook this is probably not going to come as much of a surprise but they are more canyons here but the landscape is honestly breathtaking and definitely worth a five minute stop .
Grand view point
This is the Crown jewel of all of the viewpoints and Canyons National Park. It has some of the most incredible views and it’s not hard to see why.
There are different tears and levels of canons that you can see you are viewing from the highest viewpoint and then hundreds of feet below is the next outlook and then another hundred feet below is another canyon so it’s like a canyon upon Canyon.
It’s hard to explain but exceptionally beautiful makes sure you reach this as most people will do some of the trailhead and not make it to the very last viewpoint. Which is a mistake. Make sure you get to the grand viewpoint.
Goblin Valley State Park
Valley State Park is exceptional. It’s weirdly wonderful, bizarre, unique and definitely unusual. The landscape here is definitely reminiscence or something from an alien world and if you get a chance, make sure you go here.
The mushroom like sandstone formations is an attractive lure for a lot of people and you don’t have to hike very much at all and they have a section within the goblin ballet State Park where you can walk amongst the goblins.
On the way to Goblin State Park it looks like this! Incredible viewpoints.
Walking Amongst the Goblins
It’s very cool and you can walk as far as little as you like – as little as steps if you will, but you will be mesmerised to through some of the goblins.
Driving between Goblin Valley & Capitol Reef National Park
The Bentonite Hills
The Bentonite Hills are honestly the most spectacular place you could ever hope to see with your own eyes. I have a full guide on it here as it is off-road and it is important to make sure you visit this location safely.
The journey to the Bentonite Hills is pretty easy, but because it’s off-road there is a chance that you could take a dirt track in the wrong direction and there’s no cell signal in this whole area so make sure you read the guide properly.
This doesn’t involve a hike at all unless you decide to hike from the main road which I’m not sure I would recommend but if you go at sunset the colours are incredible at golden hour and blue hour because it really brings out the colours .
I’m actually not sure if I would recommend going in the middle of the day because the colours are washed out by the harsh sun so bear that in mind and read the full guide to getting to the Bentonite Hills before you go.
Factory butte
This is another off-road gem which is very close to the Bentonite Hills, which is near Hanksville.
A lot of photographers will rave about factory butte, and whilst it is definitely a spectacular a mountain there are actually multiple mountains like this which are right next to the road instead of being far off the beaten path.
If you don’t fancy going off-road by factory butte, keep your eyes peeled for one of the many many mountains that look just like it along the main road of Utah State Route 24.
capital reef National Park
Where to stay near capital Reef National Park
We stayed at The Broken Spur Inn & Steakhouse, it’s a great choice, highly recommended! You can stay in an authentic wagon, this really makes the stay!
Behunin cabin
This beautiful cabin is on the side of the road. You can pull up and photograph. It is one of the original cabins from some of the first settlers in the region and it still stands today to the hard work for the early settlers. It’s sat amongst an incredible backdrop and I could not recommend it more.
Petroglyph panels
The petroglyph panels is a very quick and easy viewpoint by the side of the road where you can see literal petroglyphs and is an incredible mark of history for everyone to see.
The fluted wall
The wall is simply incredible. You can be driving down the Utah highway and just be gobsmacked by the incredible canyons and Cliffs and unique land formations and the fluted wall is one of them.
We stopped on the side of the road. There are a ton of places on every highway that you can just pull into and stop for a quick photograph. I highly recommend this.
Panorama point
The panorama point is definitely one of my favourites and definitely a highlight for me in the region of capital Reef National Park. It’s a scenic spot along Utah state Route 24 and you can even take the road down to the goosenecks overlook. The road is called Gooseneck Road.
Chimney rock
This is also another incredible viewpoint right by the side of the road and it’s really close to Panorama point and I recommend crossing the road or going to one of the roadside stops in this area to have a look. It’s just really beautiful and you’ll see a pinnacle-spire just out of nowhere
If you’re keen, have a look at the chimney trailhead nearby.
Cathedral Valley
Cathedral Valley is part of the capital Reef National Park and it is absolutely standing if you have time make sure you go here. The ‘cathedrals‘ that jump out of the ground from nowhere stunningly beautiful and definitely worth a visit if you have time.
M it is a little bit out of the way, but it’s definitely worth it.
Escalante
The drive-through Escalante said to be one of the most beautiful ones in the world and at first I didn’t really get it until I drove it.
You are essentially driving at the peak of a ridge and the road is at the very top and on either sides there are steeply sloping valleys and it feels a little bit like you’re driving along the ridge of a huge dinosaur and the views are simply outstanding.
There are a ton of viewpoint along the way I would recommend just stopping anywhere along the route of Escalante.
For a pretty spectacular viewpoint stop at Head of the rocks overlook.
If you’re visiting Escalante, you should also make sure that you stop off at the Kiva coffee house.
This is to be the most beautiful café in all of the USA and definitely stop.
Scenic byway 12
Scenic by 12 is the road that connects Escalante to Bryce Canyon city and it has a ton of incredible viewpoints along the way. Stop by any of the viewpoint along the road and you won’t be disappointed.
Bryce Canyon national park
There are a ton of different viewpoints along the way for Bryce if you’re not into hiking there are about 12 viewpoints as you drive down Bryce Canyon city.
From the start of Bryce National Park, you will make your way towards rainbow point.
All the viewpoints and overlooks are along the road and you’ll be able to see a ton of different canyons peaks spires pinnacles and valleys that will take your breath away.
Where to stay near Bryce National Park
There are a tonne of different places to stay near Bryce National Park – there are plenty of places to go Glamping in Bryce National Park.
We decided to do just that, and stayed at Bryce Glamp and Camp.
Don’t worry about slumming it – this is a real touch of luxury. You get your own fire pit, kitchen, luxury bed, bathroom and BBQ.
Sunset point Bryce National Park
You can’t go wrong with sunset point at Bryce National Park in my opinion it’s actually one of the best viewpoints in the whole region.
They have a viewpoint which is essentially adjudging platform that overlooks the whole area but I would highly recommend you to walk down into some of the hikes just 50 to 100 m and you will get unimpaired views of the region without any barriers. In my opinion, it’s just more beautiful if you are able to photograph without fences and barriers from the platform so definitely walk down the Navajo trail. About 50 steps in, you’ll get some of these beautiful view points.
Swamp Canyon overlook
This is one of the first overlook that you will reach in Bryce National Park and definitely shouldn’t be missed. The viewpoint is simply incredible and you can’t go wrong with some pictures here.
Fairview Point and Piracy Point
This is actually my second favourite viewpoint in Bryce, after Sunset point.
Walk up to Piracy Point and get some incredible viewpoints without a tonne of fences and wires in the way. Just don’t get close to the edge!
Natural bridge Bryce
Natural Bridge Bryce is definitely worth a visit. It’s not that much further along from Sun viewpoint and you will see one of the beautifully naturally occurring Bridges.
This one has absolutely no hike and you can view it from the car park/viewing platform. Just be aware that you definitely will not be able to climb over any of the barriers to photograph this and don’t even try the likelihood that you fall off a canyon and seriously enjoy yourself or possibly even succumb to fatal injuries is not something you wanna do enjoy this viewpoint peacefully.
Agua Canyon overlook
I overlook is definitely one of my favourites because it is simply a lot less popular than some of the other areas in Bryce National Park and you will get a viewpoint that is extremely similar to Thors hammer but without the crowds. The viewpoint here is simply unreal and you just can’t go wrong with a very quick pitstop here , the elevation here is 8800 so this means you’ll have an incredible vantage point.
Ponderosa Canyon
Ponderosa Canyon is another Vista point and Google says it’s a 4.8 out of five so it rates very highly and is another area that you should visit. You can also walk to the pink cliffs here which is just further along the road but to be honest, the viewpoint is essentially the same. You will see many of the hoodoos, which are rising towers and the elevation here is 8904 feet giving you an incredible vantage point of the hoodoo and the basin below.
Black Birch Canyon
Black Birch Canyon is incredible. It’s another one of the viewpoint in Bryce National Park and you will see a lot of hoodoo as well as balancing rock purchased huge cliffs canyons and unusual bright red and orange rock formations.
If you want to hike in this region head back towards Ponderosa Canyon and follow the trail here or go to rainbow point and you’ll be able to do a loop just bear in mind it’s a bit of a longer hike .
Or just enjoy the view from the road!
Rainbow point rainbow point is the very end of the road in Bryce National Park and the elevation is 9115 feet. It’s an area for camping and bear in mind that parking spaces are limited but we went later on in the afternoon evening and so we found that actually there is plenty of space for us to park, the views of all of Bryce Park and the who does the landscape the basin the forest the canyons just everything is in view here and it is spectacular.
There is no hike needed for this area but there are plenty of hikes here if this is something that you would like to do, have a look at the bristlecone loop trailhead at rainbow point or if you’re looking for something a bit longer have a look at Under the rim and rigs SPG trailhead.
If you walk around the edge of Rainbow point you’ll also come along to Yovimpa point.
On the route from Bryce to Zion
Red Canyon arch
So this is just past Bryce National Park into Dixie National Forest and very close to the red Canyon visitor centre and I would highly recommend stopping at the red Canyon arch.
This is an archway where the road passes through and you can drive Under and it’s simply unusual make sure you stop by and get a photo try not to photograph on the road unless you are visiting at a time of day where there is very little to no traffic most people are able to photograph on the side of the road and Still get beautiful shots of the red cannon arch which you can drive through.
Nearby is the scenic by 12 all American Road sign which I would highly recommend you visiting and getting a quick snack next to if that’s up your street.
Belly of the Dragon trailhead
Now don’t be fooled there is pretty much no hike towards belly of the Dragon and it is a tunnel through to a hiking area and if you’re passing between Bryce and Zion National Park then you should definitely stop here as it is on the way .
The walk from the car park to the belly of the Dragon is probably about 50 steps and a short walk-through. The belly of the Dragon only takes you five minutes so it’s just a great pitstop if you decide to continue hiking on the other side then there is an option for this.
Utah sand caves
The sand caves is very close to Kanab and not far from the belly of the dragon and I’ll admit there is a little bit of a hike with this one this is around 10 minutes walking so it’s definitely worth visiting the sand caves if you can.
The unique rock formations and viewpoint is quite unlike many of the places we’ve been in Utah so I would definitely recommend it.
Zion National Park
Zion is one of the best National Parks in all of the USA and definitely one of the epic Mighty Five of Utah!
Hotels near Zion national park
There are a tonne of places to stay near to Zion. The closest hotel to Zion Park (minutes from the entrance) is The Cliffrose Springdale Hotel by Hilton.
Glamping at Zion National Park
If you’re looking for something that connects you with nature, it’s worth having a look at one of the many glamping options!
There are many places to go glamping in Zion. I decided to camp under the stars at Zion Glamping Adventures. There’s also a bunch of luxury tents and wagons nearby, but if this isn’t up your street, then there are plenty of luxury hotels nearby too.
And before you ask, the glamping tents HAVE AC so yes, it stays cool day and night, especially in summer. Equally, it stays warm in winter with heaters.
Fort zion – the Virgin trading post
Make sure you stop at Fort Zion in Virgin Town where there is a fun way to see some of the first settlements and have a look at my full guide.
It’s only 15 minutes away from Zion National Park, I’d recommend the pit stop! It’s on the way into the park so it’s not hard to miss.
This area is full of weird and wacky Western buildings reminiscent of the first settlements in 1858 and it’s located along the Virgin River which is not very far from Zion National Park.
The elevation is around 3606 feet and you’ll be able to see this from State Route Nine.
The narrows Zion National Park
If you’re keen on hiking the Narrows in Zion National Park then you definitely can’t go wrong this is definitely one of my favourite hikes in all of Utah and if you don’t fancy hiking very much you can take a quick stroll in the area which is relatively flat and ululating but the view the highway is essentially through the gorge of a canyon!
To be honest, any viewpoint in Zion National Park is incredible. You can hire e-bikes or do some hiking in Zion on one of the many trails.
I would recommend visiting the temple of Sinawava. This is where you can go and hike the narrows.
Every single viewpoint is incredible
Bear in mind, you will have to take the shuttle bus up.
Water Canyon
This one is great because it’s technically inside the park but there’s no fee to visit.
We decided to go Glamping at Zion Glamping Adventures (pictures above) that was just next to Water Canyon and is the perfect excuse to drive 5 minutes along the road to enter Water Canyon. There are views for days! And for this one, you don’t need to pay. It’s free!
That’s mostly it! I’m certain there are a tonne more places across Utah, but I definitely think that’s enough to be getting on with. This will keep you busy for quite a while! Before you go, have a look at the weather in Utah.
Weather in Utah
Be wary of the weather in Utah, it’s so diverse! In the winter, it is literally freezing.
In the summer it is literally boiling, and it can actually be difficult to be out in the middle of the day. Whatever the time of year you visit, be prepared, whether that’s water bottles, or extra layers to keep warm.
