If you’ve been here a while you’ll know it’s not shocking that I had no idea what the Sego Canyon Pictographs were basically until we were going.  I had heard of Sego Canyon earlier this summer but didn’t really know what it was.  We decided to go last minute after the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail and I’m so glad!

One of the last rock art stops on our little Moab trip was the Intestine Man, one I was very excited about for a long time.  I didn’t realize how easy it was to see though for quite a while.  I finally got to see it and it was just as cool as I was hoping!  This is a great stop on your way to or from Canyonlands or Dead Horse Point State Park.

A last-minute addition to my Moab rock art bucket list was the Moab Man petroglyph at the Golf Course Rock Art Site.  I think I actually had the Moab Man on but Utah bucket list but didn’t realize it was so easy to see.  So one night before dinner, with a little spare time, we decided to head out and see the Moab Man and his beautiful earrings.

As you know, the theme of my last trip to Moab was rock art and the Bartlett Rock Art was one I was very excited about.  These pictographs are Barrier Style, a style that was featured on Ancient Aliens (if you know which episode, please let me know in the comments!)  The figures look kind of like robot aliens and I love them.

At the end of this season, we spent a few days in Moab with my parents and the theme of this trip was rock art.  While the Moonflower Canyon and Birthing Rock Petroglyphs weren’t the very top of my list, they had some tough pictograph competition, I was very excited for the Birthing Rock.

This year when my parents came to visit, we kind of kept up the theme of visiting ruins and rock art.  Last year we saw Butler Wash and House on Fire, this year we visited the Upper Sand Island Petroglyphs in Bluff before seeing tons more in Moab.

The House on Fire ruin is probably the most unique ruin site in Utah which should land it at the top of your Utah bucket list and road trip itinerary.  I had no idea it even existed until a few months before going.

This was one of the places I wanted to take my parents when they came to visit, so go we did.  We set out pretty early because you really have to see this at the right time (10-11 AMish) to get the fire effect on the rocks.

Hovenweep National Monument is a small monument on the Colorado/Utah border, not too far from Cortez (Colorado) and Bluff (Utah,) but not particularly close to anything else other than the Canyon of the Ancients National Monument. 

After passing the sign for it a few times with no real idea of how far it was from Bluff or Cortez, we decided to make a pit stop here on our way back to Bullfrog from Cortez.

On our way to Blanding for some groceries for our Lake Powell houseboat trip, we decided to stop at the Butler Wash Ruins.  I had seen the sign before but didn’t actually know what to expect.  At all.
