In the right conditions, Lake Powell’s stunning Alstrom Point overlook can be reached in a 2WD vehicle. But before you head on down the road and off the beaten path, you should know that if you’re in rental car, you’ll void your insurance the minute your tires part with the pavement. If you get in an accident, you’ll be on the hook for the damage. What’s more, should you encounter car trouble, or heaven forbid, get lost, you’ll then have to contend with spotty cell phone reception, and possibly be forced to camp overnight in potentially dangerous conditions.
If all that sounds like more adventure than you bargained for, there is a way to see Alstrom Point without taking such risks: with a guided tour.
