 Eye of Sinbad - Description 
[also: Eyes of the San Rafael, Wild Horse Window, etc.]
Leave the SR 24 between I70 and Hanksville following the signs pointing to Goblin Valley State Park. At the kiosk leave the Temple Mt. Rd. to the left; still in direction to Goblin Valley State Park, follow the Goblin Valley Road some hundred meters. Take one of the two dirt roads to the right side. You can see these dirt roads on the map 'Eye of Sinbad' if you switch to the 'Satellite View' and zoom to an appropriate level.
The two caves are only from some points on the roads visible. From the trailhead cross the Wild Horse Canyon and find your way up the petrified sand dunes in a northwesterly direction. If you cannot see the caves, just stay parallel (200 to 300 meters) to the Wild Horse Canyon on your way up. Eye of Sinbad is really worth the effort, it combines beauty of nature with Indian pictographs.
It can get very hot on the sandstone in summer and late summer and there is no shade anywhere, so water is necessary and oh yes the rattlesnakes there have a sand-beige color (haven't seen such a beauty in a long time; too quick for a picture).
Roundtrip: up, enjoying and back down to the car approx. 2 to 3 hours.
You will find the map 'Eye of Sinbad' here.
