Description
The Squaw Flat Scenic Byway (Hwy 211) begins at Hwy 191 about 40 miles south of Moab, and runs west into the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. Along the way is nice red rock scenery, good views south of the Abajo Mountains and wonderful Newspaper Rock -- a cliff wall densely covered with Indian petroglyphs. There are picnic areas at Newspaper Rock and within the Needles District.
