"Whipple Point is the second least scenic vista point along the Painted Desert rim as the bluff to the northeast blocks off part of the view and the colorful rock begins to give way to desert scrub to the west. There are no facilities at the site aside from an interpretive sign that provides information about the area. The parking area is a pull-through and can accommodate RVs and buses."
