About

The Main Overlook at Grandview is a must-visit for anyone wanting a high-impact view with very little effort. It is a short, paved walk from the parking lot, making it accessible for most visitors. The view of the horseshoe bend in the river is iconic and often compared to Arizona's Horseshoe Bend. While the visitor center is small and has limited hours, the natural beauty of the site makes it a top-tier stop in the park.
