Getting There

Navigate to 38.852800, -110.802725.

Even though it looks close to I-70, it's actually an 11-mile drive on dirt roads to reach the Lone Warrior Pictograph. From I-70, take exit 131 for Sinbad Road and head south. I'm not going to detail out the turn-by turn navigation on how to get there, but I've shown the approach drive on the map below. 

Route

From the parking area, there are two short trails. If you walk northeast for about 50 feet, you'll see several faint petroglyphs along the base of the cliff. If you head northwest for about 0.1 miles, you'll reach the Lone Warrior Pictograph.

Story

I stopped and visited the Lone Warrior Pictograph on my way to do some canoneering for the weekend. I thought the panel was cool, but it wasn't my favorite.
