The Wedge Overlook is one of the most scenic vistas in the state. The Wedge over looks the San Rafael river as it flows through the “Little Grand Canyon”. The San Rafael river is a combination of Ferron Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Huntington Creek which meet at a single point, and then continue to the Colorado River. The Wedge is a massive upheaval geological dome of which the top layers have been eroded away. Further erosion by the San Rafael River has created the spectacular views that are available today. The Wedge Overlook provides restrooms, handicap access, camping (limited to designated sites) hiking and mountain biking.
