About Confluence Overlook Trail
This trail leads to a view over the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, where two desert rivers meet at the base of deep canyon walls. It lies in the Rivers area of Canyonlands, a region of mesas and canyons, and several overlooks sit within a short walk along the rim. Expect a rugged, open route with long views rather than shade, and carry plenty of water.
