    This approximately 3000 year old wall drawings can best be viewed here. Crushing rocks and the tourists are the biggest threats to these petroglyphs.

      The Fremont culture lived in what is now Utah for about a thousand years, from 300 to 1300 A.D. Petroglyphs (images carved or carved into stone) are one of the most visible aspects of their culture that have survived. Archaeologists named these people the Fremont culture, after the Fremont River Canyon where they were first defined as a distinct culture.

      The Fremont culture petroglyphs along Utah State Route 24 are accessible via two wooden walkways.
