KANE CREEK DRIVE, MOAB - UTAH

Maarten van Hoek Updated August 2005
RESPONSIBLE VISTOR BEHAVIOUR AT ROCK ART SITES
* Never touch or wet rock art - it is highly damaging
* Never chalk or enhance engravings
* Do not walk on engraved rock
* Leave all archaeological artefacts as they are
* Only take photographs, only leave your footsteps

Part of Kane Creek Drive runs along the north bank of the Colorado River. There are several rock art panels directly overlooking the river, but unfortunately most of them are (heavily) vandalised (first photo).

Further south the road becomes a gravel track leading to a spot where a large boulder on the west side of the road can be seen. It has petroglyphs on all four sides, but the most interesting panel features the image commonly known as the 'birth scene'. The panel that faces Kane Creek has three stylised triangular bodied anthropomorphs, a serpent and a foot print of probably a bear.
