Experience the Majestic Head of Sinbad

Getting There

• Car

  From the main visitor center in San Rafael Swell, head northwest on UT-10 N for about 4 miles. After 4 miles, turn right onto UT-24 E. Continue on UT-24 E for approximately 20 miles until you reach the junction with I-70. Merge onto I-70 E and travel for about 12 miles. Take exit 149 for UT-24 toward Hanksville. Once on UT-24, drive for about 15 miles until you reach the road leading to the Head of Sinbad. Look for a dirt road on your right marked by a small sign indicating 'Head of Sinbad'. Follow this road for about 5 miles until you arrive at the trailhead. Please be aware that a high-clearance vehicle may be required to navigate the unpaved sections of the road.

• Public Transportation + Car Rental

  If you are arriving via public transportation, the nearest major airport is in Salt Lake City. From there, you can take a Greyhound bus or a private shuttle to Price, Utah. Once in Price, you will need to rent a car as public transit options are limited in the area. Follow the same driving directions as above from Price: take UT-10 N, then UT-24 E, merge onto I-70 E, and follow the signs to Head of Sinbad. Make sure to check rental availability in Price ahead of time, as options may vary.

• Biking/Hiking

  For more adventurous travelers, you can bike or hike from the nearest established road. If you are already near the Sinbad area, you can access the trailhead either from UT-24 or the dirt road that branches off from it. Be prepared for a challenging ride with steep inclines and rocky terrain. Make sure to carry enough water and supplies, as this route requires a decent level of fitness and preparation.
