Dolores River Overlook

Long, easy cruiser ends at scenic overlook.

You’ll follow an easy road along the base of beautiful, tall, Entrada sandstone cliffs. The road gradually narrows and, at the end, is down to one lane in places. Overlook is remote and visited by few. It’s a long walk out if you run into trouble. Riders of ATVs and UTVs will find many fun side roads to explore, especially after Waypoint 03. You’ll share the road with mountain bikers on the Kokopelli Bike Trail.

A few minor rocky sections but doable in any moderate clearance 4x4 stock SUV. We went in the day after a big rainstorm and found it muddy with washed-out spots. Got through just fine. Flash flooding possible at creek crossings. Snow lingers in the shade in the spring.
