Alstrom Point

A cliff-top overlook of Lake Powell’s Gunsight Bay

SettingLakeside
StateUtah
Best seasonSpring & fall
ReserveFree dispersed (no reservation; BLM/GSENM)

One of the most jaw-dropping (and hard-won) overlooks in the Southwest — a redrock promontory high above the blue fingers of Lake Powell and Gunsight Bay. The rough 4WD track keeps the crowds away; the sunrise rewards the ones who make it.
