Needles/Anticline Overlook Road

Needles/Anticline Overlook Road The Needles and Anticline Overlooks provide fantastic views of the canyon country in and near Canyonlands National Park. A marked gravel road off Hwy 191 about 32 miles south of Moab leads to both. Though the drive itself isn't exceptional, the overlooks are. The Needles Overlook provides a good though distant view of the Needles section of the park. The Anticline Overlook provides a great panorama of Canyonlands and the La Sal Mountains.
