Beautiful drive to the vista. Although I would avoid it during peak seasons and weekends due to the amount of traffic.For a 20-25 mile drive can take forever when traffic is heavy. But if you do make it up to the vista it is amazing!

Beautiful view of the Oak Creek Canyon. An easy walk to/from the parking area - for families, hikers, and geezers. Good educational information provided along the way.

The overlook is very impressive with informative forest service signs. The Native American jewelry stands seemed... More

Be careful with the crazy parking lot and don't get blown over the bridge, but if you can make it down to the overlook it is well worth the hike. Beautiful photos galore.
