Directions

Routes to Toroweap Overlook:

The BLM sells Arizona Strip Visitor Maps are sold at the BLM office in St George, Utah at nearby Pipe Springs National Mounument, and at the Kaibab National Forest office in Fredonia.

Sunshine Route (BLM Road 109) the primary route, leaves Highway 389 about 8 miles west of Fredonia or about 6 miles east of Pipe Spring National Monument.  It is 61 miles / 100 km long and is the most reliable route, but is subject to washboarding.  Note: the last 3 miles requires a semi-high clearance vehicle such as a Subaru or Ford Escape.  Allow 2-3 hours to cover the 61 miles from Hwy 389 to  Toroweap Overlook.

Clayhole Route (BLM 5) leaves High 389 at Colorado City.  It is 60 miles long but may be impassable when wet.

Main Street Route (BLM Roads 1069 and 5) from St. George, about 90 miles long but is the most scenic route.  This route maybe impassable in winter due to snow on the slopes of Mt. Trumbull.

Camping

9 sites are available on a first come basis.  Most sites are usually available but may fill up on holidays and weekends.  When I visited Toroweap in September I was the only camper.  Sites have a pit toilette, picnic table and fire ring.  Bring your own firewood.  Note: campground is about 1 mile from Toroweap Overlook.  Backcountry permits can be obtained at Pipe Springs National Monument or by calling 928-638-7875.
