See Birthing Scene Petroglyph, Moab, Utah

The well known “birthing scene” petroglyph is found on the left‑hand corner of the east side of the boulder just off Kane Creek Drive (facing the road). Figures and designs range from the Formative to the historic Ute period. Notice the feet-first pre­sentation of the baby. Look for various animal forms, such as a centipede and a horse, bear paws and a snake, as well as triangular anthropomorphic (human) figures and a sandal trackway. Go on Kane Creek Drive past the cattle guard, where the road turns from pavement to graded gravel road. After traveling 1.7 miles on the gravel road, or a total of 5.3 miles from the intersection of Kane Creek Drive and 500 West, you will see two small pullouts suitable for single vehicles (further up the hill are more parking space is available). Approximately 75 feet west and down the slope from the road, is a large boulder with rock art on all four sides.
