This is a small rest area with handicapped restrooms, picnic tables, and a short trail along the cliff. An old highway bridge across the gorge, opened to pedestrians only now that a new bridge has been built, allows good views of the 300’ basalt cliff walls and the Crooked River.
The paved paths leading to the restrooms continue to a walkway along the cliff. The paths are not very smooth with some holes and heaved sections. A stone wall blocks part of the view to the bottom of the canyon. The walkway ends at steps where it joins the bridge. The best way to get out onto the bridge is to return to the parking lot and use the old road section which leads to the bridge. The railing of the bridge blocks some of the view but from this point you can see both the railroad bridge (above) and the new highway bridge.
The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Overnight parking is permitted. Scenic Overlook
