Heads of the Creek is a scenic trail that spans between Smoky Mountain Road and the intersections of Nipple Creek Road and Tibbet Canyon. Bordering along the Wahweap Wilderness Study, the trail drops in and out of washes and curves around the bases of unique formations like Pilot Rock, Weness Cove, John Henry Bench, and Clints Cove.
Camping is very limited on Heads of Creek. Most suitable spots have become popular with free-range cattle, making them places you would likely only want to stay at in a pinch.
Although no substantial obstacles are found on Heads of the Creek, this area is a major drainage for seasonal rain, meaning wash-outs can form quickly and increase the trail's difficulty, if not make it impassable completely. Mud in this area is notorious for stranding motorists until conditions dry out.
