White Rim Trail: Colorado River Overlook

The Colorado River Overlook is a viewpoint on the White Rim Trail, near Musselman Arch.
From the overlook one has a spectacular view of the Goose Neck and surrounding terrain.
From the Trail one can walk or drive to the overlook. Driving is "interesting": I had
to go ever-so-slowly over some uneven bedrock to prevent the ice chest's water/ice
combination from sloshing wildly.

The viewpoint is at the center of this aerial photo from WikiMapia:
