Overlook Trail #641
The Overlook Trail offers great opportunities for viewing Eleven Mile Canyon and Eleven Mile Reservoir; however, it does not provide access to the Reservoir. Occasionally, golden eagles can be viewed nesting in the nearby granite cliffs and crags. In the late spring, this is a great location to spot bald eagles.
