We had driven by the turnoff for the Parowan Gap Petroglyphs many times on our way to and back from Great Basin National Park. Every time on the way there, we say we are going to stop on the way back, and then by the time that we came back, we would be too much in the mood to go home to stop. So we decided to make a day of it and drove up for that specific purpose. The road went right through the gap and the petroglyphs were on both sides of the road.
It was a chilly day, but we got the kids out to go see all of them. They were quite impressive and in good shape considering they were right next to the road. They had a large fence around them so you could not just walk up and see them without going over the fence. That is one way to keep them protected. We walked the whole length of the fence to see all of them. We stayed for as long as it takes to just look at things then went down to Cedar to have lunch and grocery shop.
