Sego Canyon is a pretty popular stop for its amazing, and varied, rock art. The relatively recent markings of the Ute, the petroglyphs of the Fremont and the pictographs of the Barrier Canyon People. Quite honestly, that's enough of a reason to visit! But traveling further up the canyon, one discovers the multitude of ruins from the days of mining.
It's often thought that the mining here was for Gold or Uranium, but it was actually coal that was found here. Fortunately, it was not a long lived venture and the beauty of the canyon remains intact. But a little adventure up some side roads and you will find many and varied remains of the people who mined this area.
We decided to camp at the old store and hotel ruins. Unfortunately, the hotel is in complete collapse but John shares a photo from 2009 when he found it still standing--well, sorta! John also visits one of the old mining sites near where we camped.
Amazing things to do in Utah!
