Massai Point Overlook

05/24/22

We stopped hear for sunset on our way through AZ and could not have been happier with what we experienced. Up a steep, windy paved road lies the Massai Point Overlook. It is the highest point in the park and offers easily the best views around, especially at sunset. You can see the light hitting the hoodoos and touching the mountain tops in the far distance. There's plenty of parking up top and you can take short trails down to some more unfinished and unique viewpoints. All in all, an amazing place to witness a sunset.

Echo Canyon Trail

This is a moderate trail, with a good amount of up and down. But you won’t mind one bit, because you’ll be so awestruck with the scenery.

And make sure to call ahead to see what (if any) restrictions are in place. ...
