CultureEasyYear-round

Discover ancient rock art panels, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the early inhabitants of the Moab area.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Prioritize a visit to Potash Road (Hwy 279) to see the massive 'Wall Street' panels easily accessible from your vehicle.
  • 2Pack a pair of binoculars to spot high-clearance carvings that are otherwise difficult to see with the naked eye.
  • 3Allot at least two hours for a self-guided driving tour including stops at the Birthing Scene and Moonflower Canyon.
  • 4Carry plenty of water and wear sturdy shoes, as even 'easy' sites often require short walks over uneven sand or slickrock.
  • 5Download offline maps or pick up a rock art guide at the Moab Information Center, as cell service is unreliable near canyon walls.
  • 6Never touch the rock art, as oils from your hands accelerate the degradation of these ancient Fremont and Ute artifacts.
