Wedge Overlook & Buckhorn Draw Backway

Scenery and Attractions:
The road to the Wedge Overlook climbs through rolling pinyon and juniper woodland until it ends suddenly at the edge of the Wedge Overlook, sometimes called "Utah's Little Grand Canyon." Over 1,200 feet below, the San Rafael River winds its way between the canyon walls. The Buckhorn Draw portion of the Backway follows a narrow, winding sandstone canyon. South of the San Rafael River, the Backway travels through open range lands and pinyon-juniper terrain to I-70.

Road Conditions:
After leaving paved highway SR-10, this graveled Backway is graded regularly and is passable for two-wheel drive vehicles in good weather. The road is occasionally impassable during winter months due to snow or wet conditions.

San Rafael Swell Mountain Bike Festivals

The San Rafael Swell Mountain Bike Festivals are held each spring and fall at The Wedge Overlook located southeast of Castle Dale, Utah.

From the beginning, the Festivals have been geared to a wide-range of mountain biking enthusiasts - from the novice to the seasoned; from the occasional to the frequent; from the single rider to the family of riders; and from the rider(s) whose sole interest is the picturesque surroundings to the rider(s) whose sole interest is in the merits of the bike. Rides vary in degree of difficulty, each offering a different perspective of the beautiful San Rafael Swell. There really is a ride for every interest.
