Scenic View/Photo Spot

From the Wagon Wheel Overlook you can look out across the Yampa River as it winds its way through dramatic weber sandstone canyons. To access the overlook, visitors must drive along the Yampa Bench Road which requires high clearance and 4x4 capability. The overlook is a short walk off of the pullout area.

Use caution when exploring the vista point as this is not a developed overlook.
