Utah Scenic Byway 279 Rock Art Sites
Moab, USA


Utah Scenic Byway 279 Rock Art Sites features a series of ancient petroglyphs etched into the red rock walls, created by Indigenous peoples over a thousand years ago. This 19-kilometre route runs alongside the Colorado River and showcases not only the rock art but also dramatic desert vistas and geological formations typical of the Moab area.
A visit is best appreciated in the early morning or late afternoon when the light enhances the rock surfaces and cooler temperatures make for a pleasant stroll. Explore nearby attractions like Arches National Park or Dead Horse Point State Park, both of which highlight the unique beauty of the region.
