Overview
In Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, petroglyphs are concentrated in the main petroglyph gallery about 1.8 miles south of the Sloan Canyon Trailhead. The area is most easily accessed via the Petroglyph Trail (minimal 3rd-class scrambling) or the Cowboy Trail (no scrambling but longer). The main gallery is also accessible from the longer Hidden Valley Trail, which starts on the other side of the mountains. Other petroglyphs are sprinkled throughout the NCA, mostly on boulders.
When visiting petroglyph sites, exercise the utmost in care to protect the artwork for your children and grandchildren. Don't touch the artwork because hand-oils damage them. Report vandalism to the BLM (Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area) or just call 911. |
