The Boynton Overlook at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument near Boulder, Utah is an easy roadside out-and-back walk that leads to a viewpoint above the Escalante River.

This is not a hike but rather a short roadside stop and walk along a universally-accessible paved parking turnout. At the parking turnout, visitors can walk the length of the safety fence to get different views of the surrounding area - mostly of the Escalante River and the towering rocks surrounding it.

Universal Access
This vista point has a universally-accessible paved path that reaches the viewing area. Note that this vista has a larger elevation grade, so it might not be the best wheelchair-accessible vista; however, visitors can enjoy the view from their vehicle for the most part.

Parking
Visitors will find a small parking turnout at the coordinates provided.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
