Big Spring Canyon Overlook is a stunning destination at the end of a scenic drive. The view is easy to see at the turnaround to drive back out of the park. Use this opportunity to stretch after the drive in or scramble up rocks and along trails to see new and unexpected perspectives of rocks with interesting shapes. Bring a pair of binoculars to spot all the beauties along the way, from soaring birds of prey silhouetted against a bright blue sky to the river rushing along down below. Hike the Big Spring Canyon and zoom in to see the Colorado and Green Rivers coming together in the distance. This merge is visible because of the big, open spaces of the canyon. Wander around the parking lot and rest area or climb up the rock ridge to see a more stunning view on the other side. Wear sturdy hiking shoes to set off along one of the many spectacular trails departing from the overlook and go down into the canyon itself. Walk south on gentle slopes to a massive formation of slickrock. Spot the tunnel in the rock and slip through for a completely new perspective. Head back to the car, journeying all the way back to Moab through the Needles’ wonders or continue on to the long trail that winds through Squaw Canyon. Big Spring Canyon Overlook is at the end of the scenic drive through the Needles section of Canyonlands National Park. Moab, the closest town, is about a 1.5-hour drive away. Drive from the Needles District Visitor Center, 6.5 miles (10.5 kilometers) away, in about 15 minutes or longer. Many drivers proceed slowly to enjoy the views. Use the small parking area and loop turnaround at the overlook. Canyonlands National Park is open 24 hours a day, year-round, with the Needles Visitor Center closed in winter. Campgrounds are available in the Needles district. Pay a weekly fee to access the park or purchase an annual pass for entrance to numerous sites across the nation. ### Popular places to visit ![Found these little snails in the water ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/641174414135300096/5b1014f9-26e0-4071-9b7c-63df98e129af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Pothole Point Trailhead You can take time to visit Pothole Point Trailhead during your travels to Monticello.
