We drove right by this on the way to Bandelier National Monument but returned when it was recommended by the staff at the White Rock Visitor Center. This was a great call! The views are simply spectacular and more than worth the slight detour. You will be glad you stopped!

You can see the river and mountain view from 4 different point within the city of White Rock. There are also hikes that joint each of the viewing points or you can drive to each one.

I will never know this place if my local friend did not mention. Have a look at attached photo which was taken from easily accessible overlook which is in a residential part of Los Alamos. Los Alamos is just 1 hour drive from Santa Fe. Scenic highway is as beautiful as anywhere else in NM, including Taos high road.

If you are not a climber, the park is big and has a great view. If you are a climber, look up climbs in White Rock Canyon. Many great climbs can be accessed by dropping into the canyon around Overlook Park.

Definitely worth going out of the way to see. Truly amazing views. You have to drive thru a residential neighborhood to get there.

About one mile (less than 5 minute drive) from the White Rock Visitor Center, location for the shuttle bus to Bandelier National Monument, is the White Rock Canyon Overlook Park. To get to the overlook point, drive past the sports fields and keep going past the parking lot until you see a sign for the overlook. There, you will find a smaller parking lot, and then an iron viewing platform behind it. On one side you can see the Rio Grande snaking its way through a gently sloping valley. On the other, more dramatic side, you can see the river curl by a large mesa in front of you, framed by another mesa off in the distance to the left, and dramatic mountains on the horizon in the distance. At times, due to the elevation, you can even see snow on the mountains.This spot is well worth taking the 15 minutes or so out of your way from your trip to Bandelier. As others have pointed out, you can hike from the park down into the valley as well. The valley floor is some 1,000 feet below you, so you may want to avoid this spot if you are afraid of heights. There are a few decent hiking trails around the area, including a nice one within Bandelier Park as well, so if hiking is your thing, you have a couple of options to consider.Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. - The Gentleman Backpacker

If we have visitors to Los Alamos and don't have time to take them to Bandelier, a trip to the Overlook in White Rock is what we do. The platform at Overlook Point overlooking the Rio Grande is accessible to handicapped visitors. The view of the Rio Grande far below and then out to Black Mesa and the Sangre de Cristos is amazing. It is also may be a little frightening. Some people are glad to have the railing between them and the abyss. There are also playing fields and restroom facilities closer to the park entrance

We noticed the overlook sign when leaving Bandelier National Park and turned in to check it out. They views are pretty impressive. It's a beautiful overlook of the Rio Grande valley with the mountains in the background. It's a short drive through a residential area and nothing really but the overlook but what a view... There is a paved walk to the overlook and it is very close to the parking lot. Accessible to anyone.

We were taken here during a tour that started at the Bradbury Museum in Los Alamos. The view was wonderful and we enjoyed the tour very much.

About an easy hour drive from Santa Fe is a beautiful scenic vista which overlooks canyons and the rio grande river. It is at the end of a neighborhood development and fully paved drive
