Buck Ridge Point Scenic Drive

Buck Ridge Point is probably one of the least visited overlooks on the North Kaibab, but one of the most interesting. This scenic vista provides a truly unique view of the Arizona Strip, the plateaus of southern Utah, Mt. Trumbull, and the communities of Fredonia, Arizona, and Kanab, Utah. The amount of land visible from here exceeds that of many states.

The route follows a gravel road suitable for passenger vehicles. The drive should take only 15 to 20 minutes.
