See the rare view of moab from the top of Mt. Tukuhnikivatz in the La Sal mountains east of town. I'm not quite sure how to pronounce Tukuhnikivatz so my friends and I call it Star Peak. This peak can be seen throughout the canyonlands region.

Watch a variety of Ancient Freemont Indian Rock Art. Pretty interesting shapes and figurines. Some speculate these were created for rituals, others say they were used to mark territory. What do you think? This video clip was pieced together from sites around Moab and Green River, Utah. Notice the two types of art. The Pictographs are painted on the rock, the petroglyphs are carved into the rock. The black "desert varnish" provides an excellent canvas for the petroglyphs.
