Rock art includes both petroglyphs - drawings that are carved or scratched on rock - and pictographs - drawings made using pigments and plant dyes to produce a colored image in rock.

Many native peoples have inhabited the Moab area, and have produced beautiful rock art. These include the prehistoric Paleo-Indians, Anasazi and Fremont Indians, and more recently the Ute Indians.

Several rock art sites are easily accessible when visiting Moab. Stop by the Information Center, or contact the Moab Chamber of Commerce for directions and further information.

When exploring rock art, please do not touch the images because oil from your hands can damage the art. Also, please do not deface the rock in any way, even if the site has already been vandalized.
