Canyonlands National Park, UT
GREEN RIVER OVERLOOK
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF GREEN RIVER OVERLOOK
Green River Overlook provides one of the very best scenes in all of the Canyonlands national park. This stunning vista, with finger like canyons cut by the once powerful Green River, shows the amazing power of wind, water and time on sedimentary rock.
This remarkable chasm, with its naturally sculptured canyons and majestic flat-topped mesas can provide one of the best photographic opportunities in all the great American southwest. A must-see when visiting this area.

I would rate the difficulty of this trail as a 1 on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being most difficult). The hike to the Green River Overlook is an easy 150 yd walk from the parking lot on a paved sidewalk.
This shot is all about the weather and the light! And the best light and conditions can be VERY rare and hard to find. For the shot above, I spent 3 evenings in a row waiting for the right conditions - and it finally paid off. And as you can see from the picture, this was taken just before a torrential rain storm with lightning strikes …
This location screams for a panoramic shot! However, I have found the best shot isolates the river and fingers with the buttes in the background. This shot was taken with a 50mm lens.
