In the Moab area there are probably lots of rock art sites to be found. These are within easy access right along the roadway on Utah 279, just north of Moab, which follows the north (river right) banks of the Colorado a couple of miles below the bridge at US191. The panels are 10-15 feet above the road bed, as at the time the artists created them, there would have been a talus slope which allowed them good access to their work.

Neat stuff, Bill! The rock art throughout the SW is fascinating for sure.
