The Swasey cabin is less than a mile south of I70 though it is 10 miles to the nearest exit. I followed a sandy road through a single lane tunnel under the freeway to the Head of Sinbad area. About a half mile north of I70 is a line of ancient river cliffs complete with arches, this one is signposted as Dutchmens Arch but it looks like sleeping dog to me.
It's not clear which formation is actually Sinbad's head or if there is really one called that, but if there is one I think this is it.
It looks just like a sailor's head!
Maybe that's it?
At the base of these cliffs are some really nice petroglyphs but I didn't know how to find them, I do now so next time I'm up there I'll take a look.
This area is brutally hot in the summer and the trees show the effects.
The route starts on UT24 about 19 miles north of Hanksville and ends at exit 131 on I70 (formerly exit 129)
