Rock Creek Vista
Scenic spot
👍👍 There aren't lot of turn outs on RT 212, but this one is a must stop. They have nicely maintained restrooms and the walk out the ridge to the vista is paved, smooth and is easy for handicapped visitors. We saw a mountain goat 10 feet off the trail when we were there. Take the time to stop and jus...

Price Canyon Recreation Area

👍👍 Beautiful campground! Great views over the back of the mountain and on your drive up and down. You are literally camping on top of a mountain, it was amazing! Was not too busy when we arrived around 6/7 but as the Sun got lower it stared to fill up. There are about 12 camping spots most are quite pr...

Groggs Pinnacle Brewing
Brewpub
👍👍 Teresa was a amazing server. Vegetarian approved! Lots of options. If there’s one thing you need to absolutely get, it’s the artichoke dip! But the veggie patty burgers were good.

Vista Point Observation Site
Scenic spot
👍👍 Great scenic stop to make. We were warned ahead of time about the chipmunks. They're super cute and will run out to see if you have food for them, but be careful they bite. They will get really close hoping you phone is food so they're easy to photograph. 😅

The Great Hunt - 9 Mile Canyon
Tourist attraction
👍👍 It is one of the best places to view petroglyphs and pictographs in the United States. Get a map of the 46 mile canyon or download one for offline use as there is no cell service. There are several places where people have vandalized the areas with names or fake petroglyphs.

🫤 The ice cream was delicious. The ham burger......well.......it made McDonald burgers seem like a gourmet meal. Used to make the best burgers ever! I don't know what has changed.

👍👍 I write this as I'm currently staying here. Sadly it's 29 degrees outside and can't enjoy any outside activities. But the bathrooms and laundry are over the top. Very very nice and clean, great water pressure. Best shower I've had in the last 3000 miles. Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby al...

Lost Village Road House Saloon
Bar & grill
😠 I went there one night and I met who I thought was the owner? He was quite nice. I ordered a patty melt and it was quite good. I came back two days later and met a rude waitress. She didn't seem happy I wasn't drinking alcohol. Then when she brought me the bill she wanted me to take the order t...

👍 Pretty cool place to come hangout, shoot pool, drink beers, eat food, you can smoke cigs inside and sometimes they have live band playing. Cool roadside bar. They have an L shape pool table along with regular pool tables.

The Fort at Rockvale Casino Sports Bar & Grill
American restaurant
👍👍 I love going here. The food is absolutely amazing. It is exactly what you would want from a family diner the prime rib has to be the absolute best on a Friday night. It's so much meat and it's such a great price. How could one complain? I go there so much that the staff pretty much knows me by name...
