Panorama Point Overlook at Capitol Reef National Park near Torrey, Utah is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back trail that leads to a 360-degree view of the western part of the park which also includes views of Chimney Rock and The Castle.
Trail Description
This is not a hike but rather a short walk that leads up a gradual hill to reach the panoramic view of Capitol Reef National Park. The trail follows a dirt path where at the top of the hill, visitors and hikers have a chance to explore a bit further atop the rock outcropping if they wish; however, the official trail ends within about 0.1-miles from the trailhead. From the top of the rock outcropping, hikers will get views of The Castle, which is located to the East and views of Chimney Rock which is can be found to the West toward Torrey, Utah.
Parking
Hikers will find a large parking at the coordinates provided.
Pets
Dogs are not allowed on this trail.
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 🎉
