People who lived in Utah from 300 to 1300 Common Era were named Fremont Culture after the Fremont River canyon where they were first defined as a distinct culture. The petroglyphs in the area are aspects of their culture which still remain today.
It can be accessed through 2 wooden boardwalks. It will be better to bring binoculars to have a closer view. Visitors can spot human-like petroglyphs, bighorn sheep, animals, and geometric designs. Some may be harder to see because of the patina or a green film that formed overtime over the petroglyphs.
