Moonscape Overlook Factory Butte and Bentonite Hills

Aperçu
Truly unique and beautiful places to visit, this tour covers some of the top hidden gems of Utah that most visitors to the Capitol Reef area miss out on. Bentonite Hills, Moonscape Overlook and Factory Butte have gained popularity through Instagram but remain lightly visited.

Amazing vast lunar and Martian landscapes guaranteed to be a highlight of your time here. A professional guide will maximize your time and knowledge and get you to the great spots and back quickly and safely.

These areas provide superb photo opportunities especially at sunrise or during the blue hours, if you have a drone you can get some remarkable footage of the Bentonite Hills, the tour area is out of the National Park so drone use is allowed.

This tour will definitely be one you remember and talk about for years to come, the geology is so unique you may not see it anywhere else.

i have already reviewed Factory Butte and Moonscape overlook you can check those reviews posted at same time. This post focusses on the Bentonite Hills experience. WE had no problem finding this place cause we had searched You tube for others directions which we screenshoted before we left and we made sure to set the GPS when we had service to the Mars Research canter which takes you to the turn north while travelling towards Hanksville east. Once we got to the research station the road really does become rougher and rougher i would say high clearance with 10 ply tires minimum due to the sharp shredding tires type stones on the road and huge dips and climbs to get in there. We were confused after we spotted the research station on the left as we saw people in there with campers we kept going past and followed the road to large clearing where other vehicles were parked. It was near sunset so we quickly got out and climbed as high as we could to see the sights. we were disappointed it does not look like the photoshopped pics on line with rings of white purple and blue but we did see rings of orange, red and white. it was almost dark and very warm out so us and another couple we met there were staying overnight with the intention of seeing the hills at sunrise. It was also our 35th wedding anniversary and we got up before the sun and hiked up high and was not disappointed watching the rings really pop near the parking area and a bit beyond of orange, red and white with hues of light blue that we never saw at sunset. This was a fun way to spent a couple hours here at sunrise which i highly recommend. its very hot here so bring water and good grip shoes the terrain is rough if you are climbing up which some people went really high
