## Visit Petroglyphs Panel

Activities

#### Inspect the intricate details and messages of these works of art that survive on canyon walls from their creation many centuries ago.

Amid the otherworldly red canyons and sandstone spires of Capitol Reef National Park remain the historic and awe-inspiring Petroglyphs. The site consists of ancient engravings of the Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan peoples etched onto the canyon walls between the 7th and 14th centuries. Try to decipher the mysteries of the legends and information that shed light on their lives.

Imagine these ancient people carving the etchings you see today. The works of art feature such themes as hunting, farming and mythology. Inspect the human-like figures amid the wildlife and tools that decorate the petroglyphs. Some of the characters look like our notion of aliens or robots, with angular geometric shapes.

Note that many archaeological relics belonging to the Fremont peoples were excavated in this intriguing region near the Fremont River. Among the exceptional findings are the one-rod-and-bundle basket, grayware pottery and shoes made from parts of animals. Read the information plaques for an insight into their ways of life. They were hunter-gatherers who dabbled in farming and had a penchant for petroglyphs. 

Snap photos of the impressive carvings to take home as souvenirs from the park. In addition to this large panel, look for smaller petroglyphs throughout the region. See the impressive rock carvings in Capitol Gorge as well as the Fish Creek Panel, which is at the end of a short hike suitable for the whole family.

Take care not to touch the petroglyphs or damage them in any way. Park here for free and visit these works of art, which can be seen at any time during daylight hours.

The Petroglyphs site is just north of the Fremont River in the heart of Capitol Reef National Park. It is accessible via the state road that runs through the center of the park. Leave your car in the parking lot. See nearby sights, including the Fruita Barn, the Hickman Natural Bridge and the Capitol Reef National Park Visitor Center.

1\. Santa was fabulous, friendly and the highlight of our trip. 2\. The staff in the Milkhouse were unfriendly, it took 35 minutes to get our breakfast and my eggwhite breakfast sandwhich was cold on the inside of the eggs (had not been even warmed through) 3\. Reached out to the front desk three times throughout the day and night and no one ever answered. (Were told someone would be able to answer 24 hours a day) 4\. Swimming Pools were fabulous. 5\. Dinner in the igloo globes was nice and faster service than elsewhere but did feel rushed.
