Head of the Rocks Overlook Wayside | Utah
Head of the Rocks Overlook provides expansive views out across the Escalante Canyons where colorful slickrock stretches almost as far as the eye can see.
Accessibility Description (ABA/ADA)
Improved in 2012, the overlook has an accessible ramp on each end. The parking area is paved and striped. It has 1 parking spot designated as accessible, with an access aisle for vans with a side lift or ramp for mobility devices. There is a wide, striped no-parking zone in the middle of the parking area that could be used as an access aisle for mobility vans if the designated spot is taken.
The width of the paved path along the overlook is generous, providing ample room for visitors. Three angled interpretive signs are built into the overlook’s wall at a height that is appropriate for people using wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
Cellphone reception may be spotty at the Overlook itself, but service is good about one-quarter mile to the west of the site.
