Alstrom Point

Big Water, Utah

Located about 90 minutes from Page, Arizona, Alstrom Point is the place to be if you have a four-wheel drive, high clearance vehicle. Drive right up, and get yourself a great campsite with an unbelievable view of Lake Powell and Gunsight Butte. There are no facilities here (bathrooms, shower, etc), so make sure you pack up your trash, leave no trace, and bring enough food and water to be comfortable. You’re gonna love the stars at night here!

Directions to Alstrom Point

• The path to Alstrom Point starts on Ethan Allen Road in Big Water Utah.

• Use your Google Maps GPS app to navigate to Alstrom Point. While you still have service, download the offline map on Google Maps for this area. A few miles after you follow the sign that says Alstrom Point, you’ll eventually reach a cliff where you can park and then continue hiking to Alstrom Point. If you decide to continue driving from this point forward rather than hike, you will need off roading skills (along with a high clearance, four-wheel drive vehicle) to be able to navigate up and over the rocky hill/path forward.
