Bruneau Canyon Overlook
The Overlook is the only readily accessible spot from which to view the spectacular canyon carved through basalt and rhyolite by the Bruneau River.
The opposite rim is 1,300 feet away,
and the distance from rim to riverbed is 800 feet.
From this spot near the northern terminus of the 60-mile canyon, view the wild and scenic Bruneau River tumbling out of the Bruneau-Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness.
