12 Most Scenic Overlooks in U.S. National Parks

"Sitting on a hairpin turn along Trail Ridge Road, Many Parks Curve delivers panoramic views of the Mummy Range and glimpses into Horseshoe Park, Moraine Park, and parts of Estes Park — the whole drive along Trail Ridge Road is scenic, so the journey itself is part of the experience." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Absolutely gorgeous. Didn't get to travel the whole thing as they were doing prescribed burns. We were also there in the off season, but still an absolutely beautiful scenery if you enjoy the outdoors.

The road was blocked just past the parking for this, so it was the only place we encountered other people, but it wasn't bad. Very few animals out anywhere in thr park - Thanksgiving week is probably not the best time for that - but the views were breathtaking.

Many Parks Curve Overlook is a beautiful and peaceful spot with amazing views. The scenery is incredible, especially if you enjoy nature and quiet moments away from crowds. It’s a great place to stop, take photos, and just take in the landscape. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in the area.

Mid October 34° and very windy! Bring your hand warmers, coats and hats!

Great place to stop for expansive views of the park. They have a small lower parking lot and a much larger one up the road on the other end of the boardwalks.

Excellent views for sure. Definitely one of the many spots to stop at if you're taking the trail ridge road up into the mountains. It gets pretty busy in the summer time. But that's to be expected with such sheer beauty.

The first stopping point as you come up Trail Ridge Road, you'll find the main parking point for Many Parks Curve Overlook a little way past the curve itself (it's well marked). After a steep sharp curve you'll arrive at Many Parks Overlook. you get sweeping panoramic views across much of the south and eastern parts park, all the way back to Estes Park town and up to the mountains, including a view of Longs Peak. The road starts to get steep but it's still very tolerable at this point, there are rock guardrails and dense trees.

Beautiful place to stop along a hairpin turn on Trail Ridge Road. Get a panoramic view of the "many parks" along the sweeping landscape. Moraine Park, Upper Beavers Meadow and Horseshoe Park Meadows are all available in the lower valley that was sculpted by glaciers. Deer Mountain and Long's Peak are visible on a clear sunny day. Parking can be a challenge, but definitely worth a quick stop to walk along the winding boardwalk and enjoy the views.

We stopped by here today because this was the most western point we could go on trail ridge road due to the winter closure. The park ranger said the road was closed beyond this point so we drove to the parking area, got off and wandered along the sidewalk for some continental divide views. It was a nice 15-20 minute pit stop here. Large parking lot with trash cans. Kid did some rock climbing too.
