Hike Moqui Canyon Reviews

The Moqi Queen and her dog pictograph are an hour and 41 minutes from Blanding. Near the hog springs rest area. Looking south at the huge alcove the pictograph is on the left. The alcove is to the left of hog springs rest area. You can see pictograph from road. Never touch pictos or petroglyphs
