Alstrom Point
A cliff viewpoint overlooking Padre Bay on Lake Powell, with Gunsight Butte and blue bays lined with houseboats. It's one of the most spectacular spots in the lake area and requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle or a tour.
Alstrom Point is on the Utah side of the north shore of Lake Powell. From the cliff edge you can look down on Gunsight Butte in Padre Bay and on the blue bays lined with houseboats. It is especially spectacular at sunrise and sunset, and you can also camp on the clifftop. From Big Water, the route covers about 40 km of dirt road, and the last section is rocky, so a high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicle is essential. It's recommended to book a jeep tour departing from Page. After rain, mud makes the roads impassable, and there are no railings at the cliff edge.
