USA Factory Butte Viewpoint

There are a half dozen or so 1 inch pipes mounted and labeled on stakes pointing at various landmarks on the prize at the large pullout on the side of Utah Highway 24. Look through the pipes to see their exact location. Factory Butte is prominent in the distance. It’s possible to drive very near to this famous butte. Kathline Rock is directly across the highway from the pullout. There’s a dirt/sand road leading behind Kathline Rock where there’s room for multiple vehicles to park.

Camping is allowed in the area (free) behind Kathline Rock making this a great spot for sunrise/sunset and night sky photography. There is minimal traffic on the road after dark but the occasional illumination of the rocks by vehicle headlights can be used for dramatic effect.

From the intersection of highways 24 and 95 in Hanksville, Utah drive 6.5 miles (10.5 km) to the Kathline Rock pullout.
