As others said, a magnificent view of this canyon. BUT if you get close enough to the edge to see over, it's FULL of garbage. Lots of alcohol containers over that edge. The few structures are full of graffiti and yeah, it ruins the place. I'm staying till sunset then I'm outta here.

This spot is seriously a hidden gem! We stayed one night towards the end of the road to the right with no problems. Verizon reception would come and go so it's not very reliable, but this spot is 100% worth the stop! The road is doable with any vehicle.

Really awesome scenery. We parked for one night in our truck camper towards the end of the loop away from the graffiti. No one else was here, wasn’t sketched out. Good ATT

I have to say this place made me uneasy. It’s very unsightly with trash, graffiti, and broken glass everywhere. Seems like the kind of place people get into mischief. In the end it worked out ok, zero people drove by and it was a very nice view to wake up to in the morning. Just make sure you lock your doors.

Lovely place for the night. Can be windy but has nice view of cow country. Bit buppy on the way b as ck but fine with 2wd, depending on weather conditions.

Beautiful canyon and hills, you would never know from the road. Windy but camouflages any possible road noise. Bit run down, no facilities except picnic tables and cover.

Incredible spot! WOW!! Bring a trash bag with you and make this place better. I’m stupefied by how people can trash a scenic place like this!!

AMAZING views make for a great stay! Drove a little away from the main parking area for some privacy. A few other cars when we got there but none stayed. Possible bathroom, but unsure. Good for the night!

Awesome spot for a night. Amazing view and very quiet - I was the only one here and only one person drove by the whole time. Cell service is available, but spotty. And the sunset was amazing!

Ok spot for a night with awesome views. I'm not 100% sure this is an actual camp spot but no one bothered me.

Lovely scenery right outside my window! Park sign says it's open dusk to dawn, but there was nobody here to care. I drove a little way down the Rim Rd, and parked right next to a gorgeous view. And free too!
