Hite Overlook
Sightseeing
Directions

Pull off Utah's scenic Highway 95 and step out to a breathtaking panorama of the Colorado River and the upper reaches of Lake Powell. From this clifftop viewpoint, you'll get a dramatic look at how the water levels have shaped the landscape, revealing vast canyons and the silted delta where a bustling marina once operated. It’s a powerful and beautiful spot that tells the story of water in the West, offering a perspective of what Glen Canyon looked like before the dam. The overlook is immediately accessible from the large parking area.
