Interpretive Sign - Ute Rock Art

The stylized horse and rider surrounded by bighorn sheep and dog-like animals is typical of Ute rock art. Carved sometime between A.D. 1650 and 1850, these petroglyphs are visible along the vertical wall ahead. Today, this rock art panel is important to many Native Americans of this region because it was created by their ancestors. Help protect the rock ary by not touching it. Oils from your skin hasten the deterioration of these fragile and irreplaceable cultural resources.
