Overhanging Cliff, Volcanic cliff in Yellowstone National Park, United States

Overhanging Cliff is a vertical basalt cliff that overhangs the Grand Loop Road just north of Tower Fall on the north rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone in Yellowstone National Park. The rock face leans out above the roadway, and the cliff stands at an elevation of 2,034 metres.

The name Overhanging Cliff was most likely given by David Folsom, a member of the Cook–Folsom–Peterson Expedition, in 1869. The cliff is a wall of vertical basalt that leans out over the Grand Loop Road just north of Tower Fall, on the north rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

The name is credited to David Folsom of the Cook–Folsom–Peterson Expedition, who passed here in 1869; the cliff stands just north of Tower Fall on the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone's north rim. Today drivers on the Grand Loop Road pass directly beneath the overhanging basalt.

The cliff overhangs the Grand Loop Road itself, just north of Tower Fall on the canyon's north rim, so it is seen from the road rather than from a trail. Drivers pass directly beneath the overhanging basalt.

The cliff sits at 2,034 m on the north rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and the land around it is boreal, averaging about 0 °C, with fewer than two people per square kilometre. Prospect Peak rises 2,904 m about 9 km to the east.
