About

This charmingly retro roadside stop between Goblin Valley and the Henry Mountains is a wonderful location to view some of the lower forty-eight's last mapped regions. These include the Henry Mountains, Boulder Mountain, and Factory Butte, to name a few. It's a child-pleasing stop and a wonderful place to stretch your legs on long road trips across Utah. There's also free camping across the road behind Kathline Rock.
