3The Temple Of The Sun And Moon Viewpoint
Travel to the Cathedral Valley District, north of the Fruita District. You will need between three to five hours for this one. Cathedral Valley is a remote, rugged district in the park.
The Temple of the Sun and Moon is one of Cathedral Valley’s best attractions. Get a good look at this pair of arrowhead-reminiscent giants towering over the arid desert landscape. The best time to visit is at sunrise when the rough rocks seem to come alive with bright orange and red reflections from the shining sun.
If you’re driving a four-by-four vehicle, do the entire 58-mile scenic drive. It’ll take about five hours to complete, and your vehicle will have to ford a river. If you only want to see the famous Temple of the Sun and Moon, take the Caineville Wash Road to Cathedral Road. That route will require three hours.
