Lone Rock is located in Skull Valley in western Utah. It's a big cliff in the middle of a flat expanse, which is sort of neat, but there is nothing there besides the rock and cows. People come here to shoot targets, and they leave a lot of trash, so watch out for broken glass, live ammo, etc.
It was February in this picture, and very cold. I don't recommend doing what we did here, this trip was miserable and I don't know why we did it.
In the warmer months though, it's a cool place to go hang out. There is no hiking (unless you want to traverse the wide open ground and go nowhere), but you can climb to the top of the rock and look out over the vast desert, or look for one of the small caves. The west side of the rock has some nice flat places to camp.
To get to Lone Rock, head west on I-80 and take exit 77 for Dugway. Keep going south on Skull Valley Road past the solar panels and turn right onto the dirt road with a bulletin board. It's pretty clear which road this is because lone rock is the only thing to your west. You will come across muddy spots and massive ruts. Drive skillfully.
