📍 Moonscape Overlook – near Hanksville, Utah

Hidden deep in the Utah desert, Moonscape Overlook lives up to its name — endless gray ridges, jagged canyons, and lunar-like terrain that stretch as far as you can see. It’s one of the most surreal landscapes in the Southwest, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light turns the whole valley silver and gold.

🚙 The Drive: Getting here isn’t easy. The road is rough, unpaved, and best tackled with high clearance — 4WD is strongly recommended. There are no signs, no facilities, and no service, but that’s what makes it so incredible. The isolation is part of the magic.

✨ What to Know:
• Located about 15 minutes outside of Hanksville.
• Best time to visit: Sunrise or sunset for soft light and shadows.
• Free to visit — just bring everything you need.
• Closest gas and food are in Hanksville, so plan ahead.

🌿 Leave No Trace: Stay on the established dirt tracks. new tire marks scar the fragile desert soil. Don’t walk on the soft cliff edges (they crumble easily), and absolutely pack out everything you bring. There are no trash bins or restrooms here.

Would you take the bumpy drive out here just to watch sunset over another planet?
