Devils Kitchen
The Devils Kitchen is a scenic red rock off the Nebo Scenic Loop. It offers pillars and other interesting rock formations. It somewhat resembles a miniature Bryce Canyon.
The trail is short, well-maintained and easy to hike. It runs through a beautiful forest to a observation platform on the edge of the red rock area.

The Devils Kitchen is an amazing site, with red rock and red dirt on top of a mountain in the middle of a beautiful forest.
The entire Nebo Loop is a very scenic mountain drive, particular during the fall when colors are changing. If you are driving the Loop, the Devils Kitchen is a must-see attraction, well worth the few minutes required to hike to the overlook.
