Sego Canyon Rock Art

Led by: Diana and Steve Acerson

Sego Canyon, located just outside Crescent Junction, Utah, is a hidden gem that reveals some of the most haunting rock art in the American Southwest. The petroglyphs and pictographs, created by historic Fremont, Ute and Barrier Canyon cultures, offer a glimpse into the region's rich history and spiritual traditions.

These intricate designs, painted and etched onto the canyon's sandstone walls, tell stories that have withstood the test of time, making Sego Canyon a must-see for anyone interested in Native American heritage and prehistoric art.

This half-day trip is ideal for participants who are looking for a mellow field trip to a beautiful location. Though this trip is appealing to everyone, we especially recommend it for families with small children, or individuals who are looking to avoid trips with longer drives or strenuous hikes.

See below for important trip information.

  • Any car can make the journey. The rock art panels at Sego are accessible via short strolls from the parking area.

  • Lunch, water, sturdy shoes, binoculars, camera, and snacks.

Diana is a conservationist and artist, and Steven has been interested in rock art sites since he was raised in Green River, after his father moved the family there to help his grandfather mine for uranium.
