Potash Scenic Byway |
|
The Potash Scenic Byway, Hwy. 279, is located just north of Moab, about a half mile after you cross the bridge over the Colorado, heading off to the southwest. I like to take the drive in the mornings, when the sun shines on the rock art located a few miles down the byway on the west side of the road.

The Potash Byway and the Colorado River |
||
| This is a short but fun drive. The road follows the river and the cliffs line the other side of the road. | ||
Potash Rock Art 1 |
||
| The Rock art panels are located right along the road just a few miles or so down the byway. They are well marked and easy to find. | ||
Rock Art Panel |
||
| The figures are located at close to eye level, and notice the animal that is outlined and the fancy headdress of the human figures. | ||
The Gathering |
||
| What brings these images together? Were they done for an occasion or at seperate times? I like to call this the gathering. | ||
