We headed out to find this spot and discovered that the fee to get into the park is $20 per car. You must decide if it's worth $20! We decided against it.

This canyon is called the "Grand Canyon stunt double," since they cannot film at the actual Grand Canyon. The Moab/Monument Valley Museum in Moab has all the behind-the-scenes photos of this area. Many films were filmed here and in the surrounding areas.
[Lisa Tasse, 06/11/2021]I was there jeeping with a friend of mine apparently when the movie was being filmed. We drove our jeep up to the area and found a ramp in place that would have been used in the film. We didn't know what it was for until a year later when the movie came out.
[Mike Frouth, 05/03/2017]There is nothing there to say this is where Thelma and Louise jumped, but I googled it and a picture exactly like mine came up. This is a beautiful park and overlook. Worth the half hour drive and the $10 to get in.
