Powell Point Vista at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument near Henrieville, Utah is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back roadside stop that features views of the Pink Cliffs.
This is not a hike but rather a short universally-accessible walk along a paved path that features views of the Pink Cliffs along with information kiosks. This is a great spot to take a break on a long road trip through Utah. From Power Point, visitors get a view into the topmost layer of the Colorado Plateau's Grand Staircase. This top layer, known as the Pink Cliffs or Claron Formation, is the same geologic layer that forms the spectacular landscape of Bryce Canyon National Park and Red Canyon.
Universal Access
This vista point has a universally-accessible paved path that reaches the viewing area and information kiosks.
Parking
Visitors will find a small parking turnout at the coordinates provided. Across the street is another parking turnout of a similar size. Mind the highway traffic along UT-12.

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!️
