Breathing view 🥰 our tour guide from Antelope tour’s recommended this place and I’m glad he did. It’s really worth visiting. Only 5 mins drive from if you take the Antelope tour. It’s free! Amazing view and not crowded! Must visit if you are around this area!
I was on my way to Zion National Park and wanted to check out Glen Canyon Dam, but I did not have a lot of time.
This overlook was perfect. It was free (Horseshoe Bend overlook was $10).
The walk down to the overlook is a bit tricky. Sometimes you are walking on steps and other times uneven sandstone.
But the view is fantastic. You can do some exploring off the path... but just be prepared for the height you are above the river! There are some really good views of the dam and the canyon if you venture around to the other side of the rocks!
Amazing view of dam and bridge. Engineering marvels. Glen Canyon and Colorado River are natural marvels. Great place to take sunset pics. FREE to visit.
Nice little freebie to throw into your plans, particularly if you are staying in one of the hotels on Scenic View Road. We followed a random sign opposite the entrance to our hotel that promised a scenic lookout point and were very pleasantly thrilled to find the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook. Awesome view of a big bend in the river. Great views of the dam if that’s your thing.
I stayed at a hotel within walking distance and went to check it out before I left. I'm glad I did! It was quiet, beautiful, and the views were endless on a clear day. The dam is a marvel and the tall canyon walls were something to admire, however, I enjoyed the sandstones along the path the most. There are a few parking spots there but in February it was empty and a great time to view.
Note: there isn't anything here, just a parking area and a trail with some overlooks for free.
