Capitol Reef NP Petroglyph Panel

Description

The Fremont Culture petroglyph panels along Highway 24 in Capitol Reef National Park are among the most accessible Native American rock art sites in Utah. Hundreds of images including human figures, bighorn sheep, and geometric shapes were pecked into the sandstone cliff 700-1,300 years ago. A short paved path reaches the best panel.
