Description

Explore the northern portion of Dead Horse Point on this trail to Big Horn Overlook. The trail is never far from the rim and offers you great views down Shafer Canyon. Head north from West Rim Trail. After about half a mile, the trail turns west and heads towards the tip of the cliff. Big Horn Overlook is a great place to enjoy the scenery and marvel at the millions of years of geological history in front of you.
