Green River Overlook
A viewpoint on the western side of Island in the Sky, overlooking the Green River winding through a deep canyon, with the wild Maze and Needles districts in the distance.
The Green River Overlook is at the end of a short spur road leading to Willow Flat Campground. After parking, it is only a few steps to the viewing platform. Unlike Grand View Point, which overlooks the Colorado River, here you can see the White Rim plateau and the meandering river carved by the Green River. Fewer visitors come here, making it a quiet spot for watching the sunset. It can be paired with Upheaval Dome in the same time slot.
