Description

This is the twin sister of West Portal Point.  They symmetrically frame the Portal, which is the deep and steep canyon where the Colorado River exits the broad Moab Valley.  They both have a classic steep trail right out of the parking lot, a very scenic rolling middle section, then after a full 360 circle, top out onto amazing sandstone domes.  They are about the same height, but East Portal Point has more vert due to the more complex and technical domes on top, and thus takes a tad longer even though it is slightly shorter.
