Overhanging Cliff is a basalt formation in Yellowstone National Park on the north rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, just north of Tower Fall. Rising above the Grand Loop Road, its vertical face projects outward over the route, giving the feature its distinctive character and name. It was most likely named in 1869 by David Folsum of the Cook–Folsom–Peterson Expedition. The cliff remains a notable named roadside geologic feature in Yellowstone’s Tower area, valued for the dramatic way its sheer basalt wall hangs above the road.
