Overview

Hype:

Located in the northern portion of the Swell, numerous viewpoints along the dramatic Overlook provide stunning views of varied landforms sculpted mainly in multi-colored sandstone formations. Directly beneath the Overlook is a shear drop off of 1,200 feet to the San Rafael River’s deeply cut Little Grand Canyon. Panoramic vistas reveal the river winding its way through canyons of changing widths, surrounded by multi- layered cliffs, buttes, domes, and spires.

Story

We had a slow morning. We played some games then packed up. We drove down to the wedge overlook and marveled at the views.
