Located about 26 miles south of Torrey, Utah, on Scenic Byway 12. The Homestead Overlook treats you to breathtaking vistas from Capitol Reef to Navajo Mountain.
The Homestead Overlook is 26.1 miles southeast of Torrey, Utah. Head east on UT-24 (main Street) for approximately 1 mile. Turn right (south) onto UT-12 for 26 miles. The Homestead Overlook will be on the left (east) side of the road.
Beautiful place to stop at. The views are great and it is a great place to rest or stretch your legs. There is also a bathroom there if you need to go.
Can't go wrong stopping here for a little while to take in the views, which are really far! It is a good 160 degree view. There are wild cattle on the area as well so watch out for poo. They also have bathrooms (vault toilets) here if you need a stopping point for that.
Videos and photos don’t do the views of the Waterpocket Fold in Capitol Reef NP and the Henry Mountains from here justice. Come for yourself and see.
Pretty. No walking required. Worth a stop while driving the Loop the Fold in Capitol Reef National Park.
