Headed down to Moab in a couple weekends. I've got some places to visit thanks to suggestions from people on here but I only have 2 places I'm thinking about going that have rock art, The Birthing Scene and the Secret Grotto. Anyone wanna share any other info they might have about some cool art around Moab? If you don't wanna post here feel free to PM me. Thanks!

Not far up Mill Creek near the confluence of the two forks is a nice (well known) panel.

On your way to Birthday Scene on Kane Creek Road, just after the paved road turns to graded, after a huge parking lot and before the next one, look at the top of the slope / base of the cliff on your left to spot some petroglyphs (not easy to see if there is sun on them).

Hidden Valley (access south of Moab) have some nice petroglyphs on the big wall on your right when you have hiked a while in the valley.

At the Visitor Center in Moab they give you a brochure giving the location of wellknown petroglyphs as the ones on Potash Road, Moab Golf Course...

Coming from North Utah, you should leave I70 just east of Crescent Junction and exit for Hwy 191, about 3 miles north of Thomson Springs you will find the very nice panels of Sego Canyon (pictographs and some petroglyphs).

Sego Canyon is really good, hard to beat the bang for buck with that one.

Don't miss the ghost town if you go.
