Green River Overlook

This overlook view from 6,000 feet elevation, looks out across Soda Canyon Springs Basin towards Green River. This viewpoint stirs visitors with a long list of adjectives. For city dwellers, not accustom to wide open spaces, this can be a knee weakening experience. Green River has carved out one awe-inspiring canyon. This incomprehensible vista stretches for a hundred miles to the horizon. A sandstone bench decorates the canyon edges and marks the rim of a 1,000 foot drop to the river below. The pencil-thin, primitive 100 mile White Rim Trail below takes in most of the Island of the Sky District and offers days of amazing four wheel drive views and experiences. |
