About this spot

Anticline Overlook

Anticline Overlook, situated in the Upper Colorado-Kane Springs watershed of Utah, offers an incredible view of the surrounding landscape. The overlook, which is accessible via a 3.2-mile trail, provides a stunning panoramic view of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the Kaiparowits Plateau, and the surrounding canyons and mesas. The hike to the overlook is not particularly challenging, but it does require good physical fitness and proper hiking gear. Visitors can expect to see a diverse range of flora and fauna along the way, including deer, elk, and a variety of desert plants.

In addition to the stunning views, Anticline Overlook is also home to a number of unique geological formations. The overlook sits atop a large anticline, which is a geological fold in the rock layers of the earth's crust. The anticline at Anticline Overlook is made up of Navajo Sandstone, and visitors can see evidence of the sedimentary layers that were deposited over millions of years. The area is also home to a number of dinosaur fossils, which have been uncovered by paleontologists in the surrounding rock formations. Overall, Anticline Overlook is a must-see destination for anyone interested in geology, hiking, or simply enjoying the beauty of the natural world.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
