The Anticline Overlook Trail is a short loop at the extreme north end of Canyon Rims Recreation Area in southeast Utah. 
The first view area is about 150 yards up the trail. This view area is to the east of the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park.

The view to the north finds the
Colorado River winding through an area where the layers of
rock have been bulged upwards, the curving layers obvious. From here there are also views of the potash mining ponds, large blue lagoons sitting among the red rocks.

Following the rocky loop trail clockwise, the view shifts from the Colorado River canyon to the
Kane Creek Canyon. There is a rough looking road down below that crosses a pass from Kane Creek to the Colorado River side.
In the extreme distance an arch is visible. My guess is that it is the South Window in Arches National Park.

Following around and looking southeast the
LaSal Mountains loom over more of the Kane Creek Canyon. The overlook trails here are well equipped with guard fences and numerous benches to enjoy the overwhelming views.
