I visited a couple more petroglyph sites in Southwest Utah. One of them was the Santa Clara River Reserve. I hiked about 3.5 miles and didn’t see some of the petroglyphs that I had seen online. I knew some of them were below the ridge of the hill and I went down in some places and found a few, but I know I missed quite a few.
The above trail was marked well and I found information about it easily online. The next petroglyph site I visited, was a bit harder. This one is not marked, but I pieced together information from various sites and I found where I thought I was supposed to park and headed up the hill. I was beginning to think I was in the wrong area, then I saw this -
a small human figure carved on the rock in the middle of the picture above. I was looking for a specific petroglyph that I had read about. So I kept looking, then I found it!!
Going around this one I found what I was looking for.
While I was a bit out of the way, I had visited Valley of Fire State Park previously and wanted to go back so I did. It was just over 100 + miles from my RV park, but so worth it!!! I love rock formations and the different colors in the rocks, this is the place for me.
The first hike I did was the Mouse Tank Trail. Lots
