As I recall, there was a small streambed/ravine system that cut through to the beach that the troops were able to use to get up to the heights. I would sure rather go ashore on Utah.

I would sure rather go ashore on Utah.From what I've read, if the Utah landings hadn't been off target, resistance would have been heavier, not as much as Omaha, but they lucked out and landed on an area that wasn't heavily defended.
