Amazing views. There is a building but it is boarded up. There are super friendly chipmunks, golden mantle ground squirrels, and chickory squirrels. They will eat out of your hand so bring sunflower seeds or something to feed them.

This is definitely a must stop if youre in the area. One of the best views I have seen. If you go fall thru spring, bring multiple layers! It was quite windy and chilly the day we went.I would love to visit in the summer and spend hours at the overlook.

Great place to look over the entire grand valley. Fairly easy to get to and man what a view!!!! Fun to drive down to town on lands end road, and the chipmunks love sunflower seeds. Remember to bring some, youll enjoy it.

Great overlook of Grand Junction at the top of one of the “fingers” of the Grand Mesa. 12 miles of flat-ish dirt road to get there of of the main road over the mess. Motorcycle friendly if you don’t mind dirt. Awesome views and easy, short, scenic hiking. Take sunflower seeds to feed the chipmunks. Windy at the overlook. Bring a windbreaker.

This place is the best time ever. Beautiful sights for as far as the eye can see

About half foot of snow, driving there was invigorating to say the least for the east coast man. Boy was it worth it. The views are amazing .

Simply a wonderful place to visit. Its like standing on the edge of the earth - below is s steep drop of 000s of feet from the top of what Colorado claims to be the tallest large mesa in the world. Its entirely worth the 32 mile round trip drive on unpaved road. The entry is off of CO65 but its sign posted well only when you approach it from the North.

Beautiful views and fun wildlife experience when feeding chipmunks.

Been coming here since I was little to feed the chipmunks love continuing that tradition with my kiddos.

Located on the Grand Mesa off Hwy. 65. The building was built in 1936 by the U.S. Forest Service. The views are spectacular and the 12 mile drive is filled with historic sites and wildflowers.

Stunning views. Take the narrow winding road down Kannah Creek to highway 50. Amazing.

We had no idea this place existed. We were camping down the road and just happened across it while exploring. Its a shame that the observatory building is closed, but the view is SPECTACULAR.

Absolutely beautiful! We love to come here as often as possible!

Great place to observe not only nature but also miles of scenery. Theres chipmunks who come up the cliffside that are very friendly. The chipmunks will actually eat out of your hand! If you have kids, this is a great place for them to visit.

Awesome viewing. Beautiful landscape. Must see

Great place to stop, enjoy expansive views and feed chipmunks (they love sunflower seeds). If you have 4x4, consider taking Kannah Creek road down to Whitewater instead of back through the Mesa.

Some of the most spectacular views around

A mile or so past the highest point at Grand Mesa is a unsuspecting gravel road that leads to Lands End Observatory - one of the most amazing views in Colorado. A must see.

An incredibly beautiful place to take in the Grand Valley. Bring sunflower seeds or something for the chipmunks!

I mean the land doesnt really end. Aptly named, this place aint. Windy? Absolutely. Three stars for the gusts and two for the view.

Beautiful views. The chipmunks were adorable. They will eat out of your hands if you have nuts or crackers for them to eat.

Awesome place to visit. It has a lot of historical values.

A great opportunity to get an idea of the scope of the land around you. It was so windy once, I saw waterfalls blowing UP and over the rim!

Words and pictures just cannot capture the breathtaking views from Lands End. Came up on a gravel road, and its a little rough, but definitely passable. Absolutely worth the trip.According to the signage, Lands End is 10,500 feet above sea level, and you can see for 85 miles out into the distance!

Very cool views from up there!

Great view of the valley floor from here. Lots of chipmunks to see you.close as well.

Amazing place to watch the sunset from atop the grand mesa, absolutely amazing view even after the sun is all the way down

Not much as far as amenities, but amazing views!

Amazing views! Lots of Chipmunks as well

Great views watch out for chipmunks. They are not afraid of people

This is a cant miss spot on the Grand Mesa. Views for miles and the wild life are so cute. Remember to bring sunflour seeds, and share them with the wild life. It rained on Satuerday, and there were pools of water in the rocks. The chipmunks were drinking out of them. I would love to to share these pictures with you all.

What a jewel! Views are spectacular!!! Go on a clear day.

Absolutely Stunning!!!! Bring sunflower seeds

I have been waiting to come out here for years Finley

Beautiful views and the drive isnt to bad, just gotta take it slow. Will definitely go again.

Really awesome, the wild life feeding was great people are were cool...very great experience

Chipmunks and views for days. Always a great place to visit.

Great view of the grand valley

Love to visit for another perspective on life and lifestyle choices.

Really liked. Wish it would open that historic building and make a restaurant out of it.

Stunning beauty and friendly chipmunks.

Great view!

Amazing view of the grand valley! You can take the nice slow road up from ok m I 70 or you can take your life in your hands coming up the front side. Both are great views, but if your driving up the front dont expect to look around. You have to keep your eyes inroad at all times, or you might not live to tell, but your passengers will have a great view! Go in the summer though. The side gets closed in winter, and I wouldnt chance the front. Bring some seeds for the chipmunks too. Youll get amazing pictures of the little guys.

So very beautiful!! There is not another place like this!

Bring sunflower seeds! The chipmunks and squirrels will come up and eat right out of your hands!

This place is a true landmark. My family and i have been visiting for years. I just wish theyd update it a little. The shop needs to be open with healthy snacks for humans and the little chipmunks. The restrooms are so run down and smelly i couldnt use them.

Great view of the valley and everything beyond!

Very nice. Amazing views.

Nice drive to the place even in a fwd car and snow on the ground, very nice views of the Valley. An ATV trail continues on, passable with a 4wd.

I expected at least a telescope, 4 stars.

A whole new perspective of the valley, well worth the trip!

Great views of the valley and the Bookcliffs

Just look at the pic... They say it all

Beauty does not destined this over view.

A beautiful place to spend a little time

One of the best views in the world. There are basically no facilities so dont go looking for food. The outdoor bathrooms are the worst, but the trip is still worth every second because of the view. Take some sunflower seeds to feed the Chipmunks while youre there.

Great views of the valley and the whole mountain range. Also, bring a gift for the chipmunks.

Beautiful view, friendly squirrels.

Nice view of the Grand Valley.

Just breathtaking...every time we go!

The best view Ive ever seen

Amazing view of the grand valley!!

Traveling through Grand Mesa & looking for some gorgeous scenery? Then taking a trip out to the Lands End Observatory is Absolutely worth the drive! (Be sure to bring some nuts or seeds for the chipmunks) The road is well maintained and an easy drive. Its so gorgeous along the way that youll never notice the time.

Worth the drive. Views are unreal.

Amazing views, obviously. What I didnt expect was meeting interesting cool people. Also, there are adorable chipmunks with no fear of humans.

Very beautiful place

Amazing view from Grand Mesa looking out over Grand Junction and the valley. There are toilets about 100 feet to either side of the historical building. Women to the south and Men to the North. No running water.

Amazing spot. No facilities or services but a great spot to see great views and wild life. Bring treats for the chimpmunks, they will eat it if your hands.

Lands End Observatory was beautiful! There are 2 reasons why I didnt give it 5 stars, the first one is the pictures of the surrounding views are weathered and should be replaced. The second reason is the tourists were feeding the chipmunks. The forest service should have signs not to feed the wildlife. The animals become dependent on humans feeding them and dont forage for themselves!

Observatory Road is 12 miles long and worth thr wait. I went just before dust and it was amazing. Go 30 minutes before dark.

Absolutely breathtaking views!! Sweet chipmunks everywhere that will eat right out of your hand! A bit of a drive, but SO worth it!

Amazing panoramic view overlooking the Grand Junction valley 5,000 feet below you. (Grand Mesa 9,900 elev, Grand Junction 4,900 elev..) I video taped the sunset...just gorgeous! But wear a jacket, it gets cold and very windy.

Great views wish they update the map starting to get faded and cracking.

B e a dutiful! No words to describe how much you will love the views.

Amazing place, bring nuts to hand feed the squirrels!

Bathrooms are so bad here

Beautiful, a little chilly but its that time of year. Squirrels were everywhere, kids had a blast feeding them

Great area. Beautiful views. Seeing all the chipmunks is so fun.

Awesome bike ride

Lands End is always a nice drive. The chipmunks are awesome.

Feed the chipmunks. Take seeds and nuts.

Best birthday ever, the squirrels eat right out of our hands. Lots of room, even though there were many people visiting. The view is amazing, literally on the edge of the cliff! Public restroom. Looks like there is camping nearby, but I dont know what kind of permit you need to stay overnight. Its a long drive of switchbacks from the Montrose-Grand Junction highway, but accessible by street vehicles. From the visitor center to the east, I used 4x4, but just for fun, not out of necessity. Street vehicles might have trouble in the mud when it rains.

The drive to this place is almost as excellent as the place itself. From here you have a first class view overlooking the Grand Valley far below. Years of feeding by visitors have encouraged lots of tame chipmunks to trade their fuzzy cuteness for birdseed or nuts. Lands End road winds its way up the Mesa and reaches the top here. Absolutely spectacular drive during the fall colors. A high ground clearance vehicle or 4WD is not necessary. The road is really well maintained.

I’ve lived in the grand valley most of my life and had never been until recently. It was awesome!

Cool place

Exploring the mesa is one of the most beautiful areas in Colorado.

Beautiful view!

Beautiful overlook of Mesa and Grand Junction

The best color sunday trip

Has bathroom! Long scary very narrow road in places with people driving to fast down the middle.

Nice views and great drive up from Grand junction.

Great views

Fabulous views, although it may be challenging to get there right now, because of the snow.

Great sunset

Im no jeanyus, but I dont theenk this is reely tha end a the erf. Sher is booteeful doh.

Definitely worth a side trip if youre driving along the Grand Mesa Scenic Byway.I cant imagine any photos giving you the real scope and grandeur of this view. The breadth, depth, layers, and distances from this point defy photography but will live on in my mind as a cherished memory.The road to the view is hard-packed, small gravel with a few pot holes but is overall very well maintained. We were concerned at first since there was snow over parts of the road and the mesa, but it was really no problem.If I ever go back that way Ill definitely make the trip again.

Nice drive & beautiful views from the top.

Very nice, but compared to many other nearby sights (e.g. Colorado National Monument or Black Canyon of the Gunnison) its not that impressive. Nice wildflowers at the right time of year.

Beautiful.

Beautiful, love feeding the chipmunks and see the lakes
