Sego Canyon
Sego is a bit unique in my experience, offering three distinct displays of rock art from each of the following time periods (Archaic – Barrier Canyon Style, Fremont/Anasazi, and Ute), in close proximity to each other. This allows the visitor to easily compare the different styles. Sego Canyon is located north of Moab and close to Utah’s border with Colorado off I-70. Just find Thompson Springs north of the highway, and follow its main road toward the Book Cliffs. Signs will direct you the rest of the way. Keep in mind that while part of the land containing petroglyphs is owned by the BLM, some are also on private land.
