"Farview Point is appropriately
named, with spectacular views of famous landmarks that make up the Grand
Staircase. From north to south you can see: the Aquarius Plateau
(Pink Cliffs), the Kaiparowits Plateau (Grey Cliffs), Molly's Nipple
(White Cliffs), and even glimpses of the Kaibab Plateau on which lies the
North Rim of the Grand Canyon. These magnificent views result from Bryce
Canyon's extremely high air quality, with potential visibility as far away
as the Black Mesas in Arizona — up to 160 miles! Navajo Mountain, 90 miles
away on the border of Utah and Arizona, can be seen on all but the worst
days. While many visitors are awed by the beautiful things they see here,
it is what they don't see (the haze and smog produced by particulates in
the air) that is one of Bryce Canyon's most valued assets."
