West of the San Rafael Swell at the confluence of the North Fork of Quitchupah Creek and Quitchupah Creek is an impressive rock art site. The site, in a sunny open valley, must have been used by many different cultures, as the art varies in style from Barrier Canyon, Fremont, Archaic, and Anasazi. Visiting on a warm spring day, it was easy to see why this was a gathering spot between the highlands above and more harsh desert environments to the east. The panels are a mix of cultures, but also a diverse mix of pictographs as well as petroglyphs. Unfortunately, there is a little bit of modern vandalism on a couple of the panels, but overall, the site is quite pristine.
The easy access makes this one not to miss if you are in the area. The concentration of rock art here makes it a place you could easy spend a few hours wandering around and soaking in the artwork.
