Just when you think you can't be surprised by another rock formation another one shows up right around the corner. Comb Ridge is great to see.
-
UT 95 west of Blanding is the best place to see Comb Ridge. The cut through the ridge is spectacular and there are several places below the ridge where you can stop for photos. Best time is just before sunset, when the red in the rocks is enhanced.

How do you beat that? 5K year old rock art, archeological treasures, spectacular scenery, guaranteed solitude, slot canyons, geocaches, geologic wonders, river, etc., etc.

Hiking & photographing under the full moon in the middle of the night was an amazing experience on the Ridge! Bright as daylight! (I wouldn't recommend hiking in the dark on this ridge!)
-
Fantastic geographical formation with varied colors, peaks, and views of surrounding areas; easily accessible from Highway 163

Kind of hard to find, but worth the trip. On the way to a town called Mexican Hat, named after a rock that looks like an upside-down mexican hat atop a huge rock formation.

In this land of sweeping mesas, massive buttes and towering rock sires, Comb Ridge is something else again. Basically it is a rock wall, or expressed more correctly, a monocline – a big step in the earth’s surface. It stretches north-south for almost 80 miles from the Abajo Mountains north of Blanding all the way to Laguna Creek east of Kayenta in Arizona. In 1976 it was designated a National Natural Landmark.It seems at its most impressive between Bluff and Blanding, roughly, with 191 and 95 cutting through it. When you are approaching it from the bottom end you feel the way an ant might feel when it approaches your garden wall. In stunning colors, this wall rises above green Comb Wash down below. From the top end you approach an undulating edge till you see the road cuts through it and then dips to the bottom far below. The colors in the morning are absolutely stunning; natural rock art in psychedelic pastels: this is a very special sight.The first time you approach it you simply have to go WOW!!! and your jaw drops.

We've driven the length of Comb Ridge on both sides and hiked to various sites on the east side of the ridge. It's an amazing place and hiking is not long or difficult. The Procession Panel is especially worth the effort to get to. The southern end near Bluff has the best hiking and ruins.

Yes, I know the sun is setting behind me! But the light cast on Comb Ridge is gorgeous, and should you be so lucky as to have a full moon rising in the east, you will be amazed.... Note that the road dips down and cuts through Comb Ridge, so if you find a spot to pull off safely while still elevated, that's the best photo op (at least when I was there).

Over loo miles in length---the colors in the morning are absolutely stunning; natural rock art in psychedelic pastelsThe Butler Wash dirt road, 22 miles of rough dirt road running along the east side Comb Ridge is a great drive and there are short hikes to five different Indian ruins in box canyons.
