parowan gap petroglyphs印象

We viewed petroglyphs at Parowan Gap. We arrived at the site after a short, easy drive from Cedar City, Utah on paved roads. There is an adequate parking area. No hiking is required to view prominent petroglyphs. They can be seen after a short walk on a flat surface. The Zipper Glyph can be readily spotted. There is no admission charge. Our family enjoyed our time at the site. We left with an appreciation of the ancient records we observed.

For how cool they are, it's amazing that you don't have to try harder to enjoy them. It's free also. There are really nice paved highways going to the petroglyphs from either side. When we were there today, they were in the process of adding sidewalks. Bathrooms and a pavilion are soon to follow. That will make it so that you can view almost all the artwork from a wheelchair. I went with older family members that can't walk very far and it was easy for them. Many of the petroglyphs are quite close to the walkway. They are easy to see without binoculars or any hiking. You can see all of it in about 30 minutes. If all you did was park, and walk from one end to the other and back again, it would only take you 4-5 minutes. It's amazing that something so cool has been so well preserved with no one out there to guard or watch over it.

The area was established and well put together with parking, vault bathrooms, and sidewalks to look at the ancient arts.This was recommended by the nice lady at the Parowan City Visitor's center. We was so worth our time to see it, especially as we saw it about 1.5 hours before dusk.

The improvements at this location make it easy for all ages to view ancient rock art. There are some unique designs not observed at other sites. The art is a trigger for imaginative minds and spurs conversations of life long ago.

There they were... We drove right past them at first, but when we went back, we felt silly for missing them! They are well worth the effort to get to as you can just look up and see them! No need to climb up any mountains, as we first thought. You'll want to get out to really take them in. Wow, a message from LONG ago!!! Still there!!! Way cool!

These Petroglyphs are really cool. They are well worth the drive to see them! There needs to be better signs on the road leading out to them as far as how much further since the gps I was using said we were there at least 1.5 miles before we actually got to them. We kept driving to see if they could be a little further.

It used to be that only the locals knew about this set of petroglyphs but when we were out there this afternoon we only saw cars from out of state which is awesome. You can see these petroglyphs literally from the road. But you should get out and look at them. You can also cross the road and there is a little "Cave" that has more of them in. Also on the summer solstice the sun sets right in the gap and there is a bit of a festival gathering that takes place. Definitely a place to check out.

This site is very well worth the few miles off the beaten path to get there. The Gap itself is very interesting, but the petroglyphs are the main attraction. I've actually never seen so many in one place before. They're right by the road so you don't have to climb or hike to get to them, and there are interpretive signs. It is also wheelchair friendly, as they just finished a very nice parking area and sidewalks that go along both sides of the Gap so you can see everything. Very, very nice. I appreciate the work they've done to protect this precious art and to make people feel welcome to visit. Just lovely.

Its a short ride out of town to see the petroglyphs, but well worth the drive. There are a lot of them. They have a short fence along the rocks so people do not climb on them, but I does not obstruct the view. You can also see across the road were in the 1800's two different people had scratched there name and date on the rocks also. Don't forget to stop and see the salt flats on your way.

Well spent, could have stayed for hours! We were only able to spend about twenty minutes. We plan on going back again in the near future.
