Head of the Rocks Overlook

Scenic Byway 12, Utah

There are two major viewpoints with a nicely paved parking lot. The Head of Rocks Overlook is definitely the one you must stop by. It provides expansive views out across the Escalante Canyons where colorful Slickrock stretches almost as far as the eye can see. Some 168 million years ago, the geological formation of this area was sand dunes, but it is now being transformed to sandstone. Don’t forget to take out your camera, and taking photos in all directions. Guarantee that you’ll have a wonderful moment of shutter clicking time.
