    1/2 way stop for us on the drive back from Flagstaff. Always very clean and a great spot to stop and stretch your legs.

    Wow! I wish we had more rest areas like this one in Texas. My husband and I were driving back to Phoenix from Sedona and decided to take a quick stop at Sunset Point Rest Area. This is a pretty large rest area with plenty of parking spots for cars and RVs. They have an amazing view of a mountain in the back which makes it a pretty nice place to stop by and admire the view. They also have plenty of picnic tables to grab a snack. The bathrooms were in great condition and really clean. I also like that they had a pet waste station and plenty of grass to walk your dogs. One thing that really caught my attention was that the whole area was wheelchair friendly and there were multiple ramps that made all points of the rest area very wheelchair accessible. Overall this is a five-star rest area and worth checking out during your next roadtrip!

    This is a great experience You will not be disappointed. I was recently there over the weekend, my second time visiting. I was impressed all over again. If you want to see the sunset, this is a must visit location. I recommend looking up sunset time the same day you decide to go so that you arrive on time.

    Off I 17 south between Prescott Valley and Phoenix is this rest area. I love the view. Take the time to stop smell the ... cacti?

    I've made 72 laps around Old Sol, our sun. As promised by vague notes and friend comments 40 years ago, men have prostate/bladder discomfort as they gain life's wisdoms. Women have their own varieties of UT issues over time. Laugh teen drivers laugh. Karma is hiding behind Arizona's shrubs and boulders. Even if we think taxes is a dirty word, even if we want government completely out of our Sovereign Citizen lives, we travelers will thank the State of Arizona and the FeFederal Highways block grant program for gifting we tired, nervously dancing drivers and our dogs for the Sunset Point Rest Area. They have snacks!

    This was a beautiful spot to take in some sights of the beautiful sunrise. You can walk around, get some stretching in. They have bathroom available and it was clean. Love!

    Anytime we head up north we usually stop on our way. Our last stop was on our way to the Grand Canyon. This was my daughter's boyfriend's first time stopping here and he was awestruck and was very impressed with the view - which was vast and beautiful. The bathrooms have always been clean and do not smell. There are various informational posters. It's a huge place - great for picnicking and walking the pups around. There is a beautiful sundial in the center (lower area) honoring construction workers who've lost their lives working on the highway and it is handicap accessible. If you happen to stop during sunset, it will not disappoint.

    Iconic rest stop on the I-17. It's always busy, and you'll usually find a food/vending truck and maybe a stray musician or so hanging around. The view is beautiful, especially at sunset, which is why it's called Sunset Point. The bathrooms are clean, there are several look out points, and ample parking. My only woe was the height of the stall doors in the restrooms. I was a full head or 2 taller than the stall doors and could easily see over. Be wary.

    Beautiful and clean rest area! View of Arizona Valleys is spectacular! Restrooms are clean. They have cash or credit vending machines and walking paths with picnic areas!

    Heading to Flagstaff to visit my brother when I stopped to use the restroom. It was a busy rest stop, but bathrooms were clean. When I got back to my car I noticed I had a flat tire. I was traveling along and don't know the first thing when it comes to changing to a spare tire. I asked 3 guys who were nearby to assist, and they declined. The next guy I asked seemed to be on a break, but he kindly assisted me and had me pull over to a different part of the rest stop to use his big jack to get the job done quicker. I didn't catch his name, but I hope he knows how appreciated he is! He lives on site and has worked the rest stop for about 6 years. He got my spare on, made sure it had air, and got me on my way to the tire shop. Forever thankful for kind strangers!

    This place seems to be my regular place to take a break on the way to Northern Arizona. Restroom is clean enough to use. They have picnic tables and we normally eat picnic lunch here. View is always nice and it is lovely to walk around to stretch your legs. Plenty of parking available and great cell signals.

    One view.

    I stopped here over night in August 2022. I had been driving all day from Moriarty NM mostly in the rain. It got to a point where driving was nearly impossible. Just when I decided to pull over I saw the sign about a roadside rest in nine miles. I inched my way there. I found Sunset Point to be large, clean and well maintained. I felt the vending machines were too expensive so I didn't use them. They had the best toilet paper of all the rest areas I've visited on this trip. Worth a stop for road weary travelers.

    9/13/22  Nice views here

    9/13/22: This is one of the nicer rest stops I've been to. Most rest stops are just toilets. This one has gorgeous views & photo ops! I honestly can't even remember the bathrooms. I think they were fairly decent, if memory serves me correctly. This was one of our nicer bathroom breaks en route from CA to TX.

    I'm not sure why Congress, AZ is attached to this. It's 81 miles away and on a different highway. Sunset Point is a very nice rest stop.
