Get ready for an epic adventure! The road to the Wedge Overlook in San Rafael Swell is filled with stunning vistas, winding canyons, and jaw-dropping rock formations. Don't miss out on the journey to reach one of the best views in Utah!


We've returned to the San Rafael Swell and are retracing our steps to the Wedge Overlook armed with Slim, 4K, and a drone. We couldn't be happier!

Remember that Sinkhole? Well, now we get a peek at how deep it is as we stop, peer over, and take in the landscape of the rocky terrain.

We also take a quick drive through Swinging Bridge Campground South. This is a MUST do in our future. The setting is incredible and the campsites are PERFECT for tent campers!

The Swinging Bridge built for sheep crossing called to us one more time before we took off capturing the landscape with our drone.

Once again, we visited the Buckhorn Wash Pictograph Panel, a must-stop site on any journey back into the Swell. The pictographs are mesmerizing, eerie, and just plain fascinating.

This time around we managed to make time to stop and see the dinosaur track just off the road. This clear dinosaur footprint isn't difficult to find. Stop when you see the sign, head up to the trailhead sign and walk up a short incline until you see a ring of rocks surrounding the track.

Finally... we headed off to the Wedge Overlook, also known as the Little Grand Canyon. We were racing daylight but managed to get there just as the sun was setting and the winds kicked up. But we still managed to catch some amazing views that have to be seen to be believed.
