    I had visited this view point recently. It is an awesome site. The 3 gorges right in front of the grand view is amazing. I call these gorges as "3 fingers gorges". Sure took some panoramic pics with my wide angle zoom camera. These "canyonlands region" is one of my top favorite vacation destinations. The "as is" condition of this vast area/region is so beautiful and awesome that words cannot be describe. As an "adventurer" myself this place is a "paradise" for me. There are too many places to explore and understand. There is no doubt in my mind that there are many secrets hidden in this vast extraordinary landscape mother nature had created naturally. As a "Naturalist/Adventurer" I adore and respect this special and unique place that still stays as millions of years ago status. Hopefully this vast landscape of "colorful" canyons and natural rock monuments/pillars/formations, rivers will be protected, preserve and reserve for many generations of explorers, adventurers to reveal the secrets of this amazing natural beauty. I vote this entire place called/known as "Grand Circle" 10 meaning *picture perfect place paradise*. I regard this entire region "Grand Circle" as one of the natural wonders of the world. A paradise for adventurers, explorers, hikers, bikers, off-road lovers (4X4 tough trucks lovers) and so on. Some places of this region are still unexplored and very challenging even to the most professional seasoned trackers. I already test drive my 4X4 F.J Cruiser (Toyota) 2007 at the "Valley of the Gods" place. I love my new off roader "F.J." for it provided the expectations of a genuine high clearance/good suspension tough truck/suv that takes the brutal unforgiving rough landscapes of rigid rocky dirt roads. Will provide some pics that I had taken at my personal website. Lynways.
