Cedar Canyon Petroglyphs
The Cedar Canyon Petroglyphs date back more than 200 years and feature several unique carvings found only at this site. Among them are panels depicting plants and intricate markings believed to represent ancient calendars. This sacred site lies within the Red Desert—ancestral homeland to numerous Indigenous Nations, including the Shoshone, Arapaho, Ute, Shoshone-Bannock, Lakota, Cheyenne, and Crow tribes.
Please visit with respect. Do not climb on, touch, chalk, or alter the petroglyph panels in any way.
