Scenic View/Photo Spot

From the Split Mountain Overlook, one can look out across the landscape that is under constant change. Below the cottonwood groves of the Split Mountain Campground shade the ever shifting banks along the Green River. Across the water, Dinosaur's staggering geologic history is on full display as multiple layers of rock have been tilted upwards, with some older rock exposures dating well back to 300 million years ago.
