Looking for ancient rock art around Fremont Indian State Park? 🗿✨

Can you spot all 9 of these incredible petroglyphs and pictographs on your next vist to the park? 🥾

This park is home to one of the largest collections of Fremont culture rock art in the world. From the famous "Cave of a Hundred Hands" to detailed geometric patterns and bighorn sheep, each carving and drawing tells a story left behind over 1,000 years ago.

Quick Tips for Rock Art Hunting:
Look Up: Many designs are high on the canyon walls.
Bring Binoculars: Spot the faint or distant pictographs easily.
Check the Light: Morning and late afternoon sun make carvings pop.
Respect the Past: Never touch the rock art or chalk the designs.

How many of these 9 designs have you already found? Let us know your favorite ones in the comments! 👇

It's that time of year again when we share the roads, trails, and outdoors with more of our reptile friends.

This young rattlesnake was out looking for some shade and a ride. (We do not recommend giving these guys a ride of any kind.) While these rattlesnakes are not known for being aggressive we do ask everyone to be cautious as you are out hiking. If you see a snake give it plenty of room, and make sure all pets are on leash!! Stay on the trail as they usually like hanging out in rocky and hill type areas.

The Great Basin Rattlesnakes are known for sitting and waiting for prey. They prefer to eat rodents, lizards, and eggs from birds. They are known for the varying coloration and their triangle shaped heads.
