How You Get There...
(The Wedge Overlook)
On Highway 6 from Provo
When you get to Price, take exit 241 and turn south on Highway 10 to Castle Dale. Drive
to Huntington (the sign outside Price says it’s 17 miles); approximately 7 miles further south beyond Huntington
you’ll see on the west side of the highway a sign that reads "San Rafael Recreational Access" (this turnoff is
about one half mile north of Castle Dale). Turn left and travel east on the unpaved road shortly after the sign.
You’ll be driving about 20 miles to the Overlook (the road has been treated with magnesium chloride so it’s pretty
smooth and not a lot of dust) just follow the signs (and enjoy the scenery along the way!)
On Highway 10 from I-70
At Fremont Junction, take the exit to
Emery/Castle Dale. Approximately one mile north of Castle Dale you’ll see on the east side of the highway a sign
that reads "San Rafael Recreational Access". Turn east on the unpaved road shortly after the sign. You’ll be
driving about 20 miles to the Overlook (the road has been treated with magnesium chloride so it’s pretty smooth and
not a lot of dust) just follow the signs (and enjoy the scenery along the way)!
