This is the "off season" for most outdoor adventure sports in Southeast Utah, but for a traveler with warm clothes it offers a great chance to enjoy spectacular scenery, indian rock art, ghost towns, uranium mines, red rock canyons, and endless views without a lot of unwanted human crowds disturbing the serenity.
These pictures begin along the Colorado river in Moab, go to the surrounding area, then look out a bit broader across the snowed in green river desert before finishing up in and around Sego Canyon near Thompson Springs. Sego is home to several thousand years of petroglyphs and pictographs, as well as the dwindling remnants of a coal mining town (Sego) that was established to provide the Denver Rio Grande & Western rail road with fuel. The town petered out around 1950 after successive fires wiped out most of its buildings.
