Powell Point Vista

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 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.
