Overview

Nestled in the heart of the San Rafael Swell in central Utah, the Locomotive Point trail travels across the picturesque flats known as The Head of Sinbad. Besides the epic canyon camping, this trail has two worthy attractions. The Locomotive Point Pictograph Panel and the Head of Sinbad Pictograph Panel are painted on the walls of the towering sandstone formation for which the trail is named. These Barrier Canyon-style pictographs are estimated to be 1500 to 4000 years old. A quick diversion from the Interstate instantly transports you into a beautiful, rugged landscape with hidden gems around every corner.
