• Book Cliffs View - Book Cliffs View presents a breathtaking vista of the stratified cliffs, aptly named for their bookshelf-like appearance. The foundation consists of grayish Mancos shale, overlaid by tan sandstone, creating a natural shelf pattern sculpted over millennia by water erosion.
• Independence Monument - Independence Monument is a majestic monolith soaring over 450 feet, named by John Otto for its patriotic significance. Otto carved footholds and handholds to ascend it and hoisted the American flag on July 4, 1911, a tradition that continues today.
• Coke Ovens Overlook - The Coke Ovens Overlook features unique beehive-shaped sandstone formations, reminiscent of 19th-century brick ovens used for converting coal into coke. The softer Wingate and Chinle sandstone beneath the more durable Kayenta sandstone have formed the sculpted shapes seen today.
• Saddlehorn Comfort Station - The Saddlehorn Comfort Station, constructed in 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, is a historic example of rustic park architecture. It provided early visitors with restroom facilities and exemplifies the harmonious integration of man-made structures into natural settings.
• Window Rock - Window Rock is a natural arch that captivates visitors with its impressive geological formation and easy accessibility. The sandstone arch frames picturesque views of Wedding Canyon and Monument Canyon.
