Panorama Point Overlook
Panorama Point Overlook at Arches National Park near Moab, Utah is an easy universally-accessible 0.1-mile loop walk that features panoramic views of the desert landscape within the park.This is not a hike but rather a short flat walk along a paved surface that encompasses a very small loop. Walkers will find panoramic views from the start to finish -- most of which are similar, all desert landscape within Arches National Park with varying shades of red, brown, white, and some blue-ish colors in the hills. If you spot blue-tinted hills, you've found the Earth's uranium layer. In the middle of the parking lot is a space for visitors to take a break and relax, with benches and sun shades.
