Confluence Overlook Trail

The Confluence Overlook Trail is in the Needles section of Canyonlands National Park. This trail passes through open, rugged desert before reaching the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers. All three sections of Canyonlands (The Needles, The Maze and The Island in the Sky) are easily distinguished from the dramatic overlook.
