Overview

hike2.5int

This short, easy hike crosses a mostly level mesa out to the White Rim Overlook. There's not much to see along the way but things get interesting at the end. The mesa ends in a dramatic pointy tip of boulders in various stages of splitting off and falling away from the rim. You can climb out on some of the boulders but it soon becomes unsafe so use your judgment. All around the tip are panoramic views of the White Rim and the Colorado River Basin with its many canyons.
