Petroglyphs Panels

A must-stop if you are in Capitol Reef. Look up, it's there. Plenty of parking space.

Not a lot of parking, so I can see this place easily getting crowded during peak season. As it was today, Sept 12 it was already starting to feel a bit cramped. The very short walk itself is easy and scenic on a well maintained wooden path. You get to see the petroglyphs on the rock wall from afar, but I can't help but wonder how much of it is old and how much of it is fake or new as unfortunately there are a lot of modern alphabet carved graphiti next to the petroglyphs (what a shame). Although they do have a few of those large tourist binoculars available, bring your own binoculars to appreciate the petroglyps close up without waiting. Otherwise they can still be seen with the naked eye depending on how good your far vision is.

Nice little walk down the wooden path. Got to the end and we weren't really able to see many petroglyphs along the way. But, as soon as we got back to the main parking area and went to look at the rock wall, we realized that's actually where the best petroglyphs are! It's hard to believe they've preserved so well in full sun. Fun to see them and think of what it must have been like at that time!

The scenery is stunning, the rock formations blow the mind. The road is a dream. The Capitol Reef NP is a great experience. The petraglyphs conjure up images of ancient times. It's a fantastic place. Highly recommended to any traveller.
