Exploring Utah's past! Join us
Exploring Utah's past! Join us on a journey through Sego Canyon to the ghost towns of Sego & Thompson Springs. See the ancient rock art panels, learn about the history of the area, & experience the beauty and mystery of this incredible place.
Tucked away north of Interstate 70 in Utah are several excellent and easy-to-access remnants of different generations throughout time.
The first town is Thompson Springs. Established in the late nineteenth century, Thompson Springs served as a station stop on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. Its importance grew in the early 1900s when a coal mine located to the north was established and a rail line connecting the mine to the town was built.
Between the two towns, are the Sego Rock Art panels. Four rock wall surfaces feature petroglyph and pictograph styles of three cultures - Fremont, Ute, and Barrier Canyon. The rock art styles date roughly from about 2000 BC to 1300 AD.
Sego was established in 1910 and coal mining operations continued until 1950. Once operations ceased, the use of the rail line also stopped. In 1997 the town of Thompson Springs no longer served as a stop for any rail line as traffic became scarce with the construction of Interstate 70. Though there was still a population of 99 residents as of 2020, one today mostly will find the shuttered-up buildings of old businesses.
