About :

Canyon Rims Recreation Area is an immense, diverse region located between the southeastern Utah towns of Monticello and Moab. Within this vast area, visitors may tour scenic overlooks by automobile, camp, explore off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails, hike, backpack, ride bikes and rock climb.

Most of Canyon Rims Recreation Area is primitive and undeveloped. Developed facilities include three public campgrounds, two overlooks and a commercial resort. The BLM operates Wind Whistle Campground which as 17 campsites and is adjacent to the paved road to Needles Overlook about 6 miles from U.S. 191. A second BLM campground, Hatch Point, has 9 campsites and is located just off the graveled road to Anticline Overlook about 24 miles from U.S. 191. These campgrounds are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Fees are charged for camping at the two BLM campgrounds from April through October, when drinking water is provided.

Other Hatch Point facilities constructed by the BLM include Needles Overlook, 22 miles from U.S. 191, and Anticline Overlook, 31 miles from U.S. 191. These overlooks offer outstanding scenic views and provide interpretive displays as well as picnic facilities and restrooms. Currently, there are no facilities at Minor Overlook.
