Rochester Panel

About Rochester Panel

The Rochester Panel, located within the San Rafael Swell has rock art experts divided as to if it belongs to the Fremont Culture or the earlier Barrier Canyon Culture. The site is one of the most unusual rock art sites in the state. Visitors enjoy pondering the meaning of the images while enjoying the surrounding scenic landscape. A mild Ѕ mile hike along the canyon leads to the rock art panel. As the hike approaches the end of the sandstone peninsula where the petroglyphs (pecked images) are located, visitors are offered a stunning view of muddy creek to the northeast. Facilities include an interpretive panel and parking.
