LAND'S END AREA
HISTORIC RANGER OBSERVATORY

" Wow, I can't believe this view!" is something you'll hear a lot when you're at the edge of the world at Land's End Observatory. A visitor can see from Utah to central Colorado without turning their head. 5,000 feet below, the Gunnison River Canyon cuts through the Colorado Plateau to create an environment that has supported man for thousands of years.

Use the Land's End Panorama display to verify your estimates of distances to Mt. Sneffels in the San Juan Range, the La Sal Mountains above Moab, and Lone Cone above Norwood.

Visit the Historic Land's End Ranger Observatory and ask the staff to point out where the 1999 Land's End Archeological Excavation took place which revealed 8,000 years of human occupation.

And you can travel down into the Gunnison River Valley via the serpentine Land's End Road, which is a narrow, curvy, dirt road, for vehicles under 21 ft. in length.
