Green River Overlook

Green River Overlook

Photo by Ben Prepelka

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.
