These coordinates take you to a basalt flow within Zion National Park. The dirt road from Kolob Road to Lava Point is an easy drive for all but lowered vehicles. However, it is closed during the winter.

Lava Point is a basalt flow from one of the cinder cones in the area, possibly Home Valley Knoll that was to the south of the dirt road you drove in on to get to the coordinates.

There is free camping at this location although there are no services or water. There is a great overlook of Zion.
